Two more yesterday, in a big meet in Somers, NY. Easily a couple of thousand people from dozens and dozens of schools.
Tim raised his shot put best from 33 feet to 34 feet 5 inches. If you look at the video, you may just see that as he turns away from me (the camera!), he starts to smile.
And here’s his new best in the discus. 84 feet 1 inch. His prior best was much lower – in the 70’s. I think his technique is pretty good on both these throws. He finished third in this “flight” of discus throwers.
But he was nowhere near the best of the day for either event – plenty of throwers were experienced juniors or seniors. They were throwing at other areas of the meet. Still, a personal best is a personal best.
