Records Broken at Ultra Throw Club Championship Meet
/Our athletes! Missing from the group shot is Frances Steinfeld.
Ultra Throw held our club championship meet on Sunday, Oct. 10. We’d like to thank BC Athletics who helped officiate. Also, a big thanks to our volunteers, Jonathan and Owen.
“This was our first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit,” said Jody Cranston, Club President, “and it was a small event, but it sure felt good to be back out competing. Congrats to club athletes who were able to participate. We’re looking to get back on track with several of our own events in 2022 and look forward to including competitors from other clubs as well.”
The order of events: Weight Throw, Hammer, Shot Put, Discus, Javelin. Weight Throw, Super Weight Throw, and Ultra Weight Throw (98 lbs).
Competing from Ultra Throw was Robbin Whachell, Jody Cranston, Betsy Rollins, Avtar Chhina, Mohan Bains, Frances Steinfeld, Saroop Tatla and Harnek Toor.
Harnek Toor broke his own Canadian record in the weight throw with 15.55m. Harnek also broke a BC record for the super weight with 8.01m previously held by Surinder Shaw 4.83m.
