Dave McDonald (image, top left), founder and head coach for Ultra Throw, broke the BC Masters record in the Super Weight at the Patti Petesch Seattle Parks Preview Track & Field Meet on 1 June, 2024. Dave achieved a distance of 8.25m! The previous record was was 8.13m.

Dave was joined by other Ultra Throw members: Harnek Toor, Mohan Bains and Dave Ulis. The Ultra Crew did very well at the event:

• Dave M: Gold in Hammer; Gold in SWT (Record)

• Mohan: Silver in Hammer; Gold in Shot; Gold in Discus; Gold in Javelin; Gold in Weight

• Dave U: Silver in Discus; Gold in Javelin

• Harnek Toor: Silver in Hammer; Bronze in Shot; Bronze in Discus; Silver in Javelin; Silver in Weight; Bronze in Super Weight; and Gold in Long Jump.

It was a good start being the first outdoor Meet of the season, and should pave a way for improved standards during BC Masters Track & Field Championship slated for later this month in Kelowna.

2022 Ultra Masters All Canadian Throws Awardees Announced

Ultra Throw is proud to announce the Ultra Masters All Canadian (UMAC) Throws Standards recipients for 2022!

"Each February, Ulta Throw searches the previous year’s results of all Canadian throwers from age 30 and up,” said the founder of Ultra Throw, Dave McDonald. “The list of throwers who have achieved these high standards of excellence has been compiled. We applaud you!"

"This is a club venture and is not done in conjunction with BC Athletics or Athletics Canada. It is our way to promote the ‘throws’ and to bring recognition to the many great Master throwers. It does not matter if the throwers are own Ultra Throw members, British Columbians, or from any other province in Canada – whether you live here or abroad. These performances deserve to be recognized.”

View results HERE.

In addition, if you are on the 2022 or 2021 list of athletes who have achieved standard(s) and wish to receive a ‘certificate of achievement,’ send an email to Dave McDonald (ultrathrow@gmail.com) and a pdf of a personalized certificate will be emailed to you free of charge. See the example below.
