THROWERS CLUB

It would be remiss of me not to mention the Throwers Club and website.
www.throwersclub.ca compiled by Bill Pearson., containing our club's history, meet results,Canadian records, photo album and links to relative world sites.

We operate out of Stouffville, Ontario, Canada, holding five meets annually. With them I have developed a lot, with one world record and a number of Canadian records.

I do it my way but being in a group I get their advice and partake of some of their better techniques.

GARRY'S ANNUAL SPORTS REPORT

Greetings,

This year I completed the 80 to 84 years age group and did well.

This year I set two indoor records in the Weight Throw and at least two outdoor records.
Most satisfying was in the Shot Put; early in the year I set a record, in the second last meet I was 1 cm. short, in the last meet I beat it by 1 cm.
The satisfying part was that it was in the last meet in this age group, the last meet of the year and my last throw in the Shot Put event.

My plans for next year in the 85--89 years age group, is to compete in the Weight Pentathlon in the 1st and perhaps in the 2nd meet, depending on how well I do, and then in succeeding meets enter in only two single events, ie--Shot Put and discus, the following meet the Hammer and Weight Throw, etc. The idea is that, in single events one gets six throws compared to only three in the pentathlon, creating more opportunity to do ones best.
