Results of Ultra Masters Throws (& Club) Championships
/13 competitors with officials from BC Athletics pose for a group shot on Sept. 24
Since Ultra Throw Club was registered in 2015, its members have been testing their might when we close out each season with our Club Championships.
This year’s meet was held on September 24 at the McLeod Athletic Park, Langley. Although it was a Club Championship, a limited number of other athletes were also permitted to participate. Three participants had come from far-flung areas. George Mathews came from Seattle, Jim Dyer from Quesnel and Andrew Arthur from Calgary. This speaks volumes for the popularity and good standing of the Club.
The 13 participants put up their best performances. Weather conditions were commensurate with record performances. There were three events that were contested by most of the participants which included the Throws Pentathlon, Throws Triathlon, and Super Weight Throw. The participants achieved the following results in their respective events.
Pentathlon or Triathlon:
Andrew Arthur Gold (pentathlon), Gold (super weight)
Alan Coles Gold (triathlon)
Jim Dyer Gold (pentathlon), Silver (super weight)
Paramjit Gill Silver (pent.), Silver (super weight)

We are grateful to the B.C. Athletics officials, led by John and Carol Cull.
With each passing year, our Club goes from strength to strength. We will chalk out our off-season practice to keep various competitions coming up during 2024 in view so that we take off from where we have left now.
