Tim – surprise shot put PR yesterday

Good for Tim. At a Harrison HS meet he uncorked two big throws – first 46' 7" to beat his best from the winter, by four inches. And then another throw of 47' 5 & 1/2". He easily won the meet – no one else reached 40'. It's surprising because the best he'd thrown in meets this outdoor season is 43' 5", and he has been concentrating on the javelin. BUT the day before (so he tells me) he had a good session throwing the 16 lb. shot – the high school competition shot is "only" 12 lb.

This gets Tim up to #25 in the state, at least for the moment. And at – for now – #2 in the javelin.
