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.

Three Ultra Throw members traveled to Perth, Australia in October 2016 to compete at the 22nd World Masters Athletics Track and Field Championships.

Scot Henney won 5 of the 20 total medals for Canada at the Championships.  Gold for the weight throw and the weight pentathlon, silver for the hammer, and bronze for the shot put and the javelin (he placed 4th in the discus).  Not bad for taking up the sport at 89 years of age (two years ago)!

Frances Steinfeld had top 8 finishes in all the events she entered (she passed on the javelin).  Frances placed 6th in the shot put, 7th in the weight throw, hammer and the weight pentathlon, and 8th in the discus.

Dave McDonald placed 5th in the hammer, 6th in the javelin, 9th in the weight throw, 16th in the shot put and 17th in the discus.  He did not finish the weight pentathlon.  

"It was quite the experience for us all," said Dave McDonald.  "The structure and formality of the events will be remembered by me for a long time.  The biggest 'bring back' from the games will definitely be the interactions with all the competitors in every event and within the championships.  I have said it before: 'throwers are the best!' "
