Tim gets third in the javelin at the County Championships

And a new PR of 150’11”. There was no real chance of him finishing higher than third, since the first (191′) and third (168′) ranked throwers in the state were competing, but he did edge ahead of his fourth place seeding. No one else was over 138′. It’s interesting that Jack O’Brien and Mike Gabrielsen, the two throwers ahead of Tim, both went to Hendrick Hudson HS, and both are going to West Point. We know both families and Tim played Little League years ago with Mike.

Here’s his PR throw; I let the tape run to pick up the audio of the measurement.
