The Ultra Throw annual general meeting was held on September 25 at McLeod Athletic Park in Langley after the Club Championships.

The meeting was held next to the throws cage. The club would like to thank Jody Cranston who was president for the past season. His message presented for the AGM reads as follows,

"What a great year it was for Ultra Throw! Many scintillating performances by the members at various meets led by Hardeep and Mohan at the world championships. Our membership base is up by 25%. This should lead to the number of members multiplying in the next few years. 'The more people who join, the more people will want to join.' Coach Dave and Robbin worked tirelessly to launch the Canadian Standards. This will be a welcomed addition to all Canadian throwers and have a uniting effect on Canadian throwing clubs. Club Ultra Throw goes into the next season with tremendous momentum: new throwers anxious to start, returning champions ready to defend and coaches willing to lead. Throw upwards and throw far …”

Congrats to the new 2022/23 executive voted-in. They include the following:

• President, Harnek Toor

• Vice-President and Communications Director, Robbin Whachell

• Treasurer and Past President, Dave McDonald

• Registrar, Betsy Rollins

• Director, Ken Townsend

• Director, Owen Wong

The Club looks forward to future growth and the return of two open meets in 2023. Registration for the new season is already underway. Questions can be sent to ultrathrowclub@gmail.com.

Ultra Throw Rankings for 2019

All prominent ‘Weight Throwers’ of North American Continent Ultra Throw club member Harnek Toor (second left) in Toronto.

The sporting year of 2019 has been quite spectacular in many ways for the Ultra Throw. The vision of its president and coach, Dave McDonald, has been translated into action which in turn contributed to placing the Club on quite a high pedestal. It can boast of rubbing shoulders with the old and well established Athletic clubs and its members acquitted themselves rather creditably. The results produced by them speak volumes of their perseverance and hard work not only at the provincial level but at the Canadian as well as at the world level. The review of these results will show as to where our individual members and our Club stand per se. We have drawn lessons from this year’s competitions and have carried these home to ponder over them with a view to producing better results next year. The glimpses of the results as reflected in their standings in the Canadian and World Rankings will vouch for the strength of this fledgling Throws Club.
