Tim hits a new PR in the shot put – with the varsity 12 lb’er.

UPDATE: We've now bought a 12lb. shot put and a discus. Being mailed. Postage charge for the shot put – only $7.95!

Yesterday at the Ossining Relays. In the throwing events when it's a relay meet, you add the two best throws from two different teammates. Unfortunately Tim was the only Stepinac boy throwing the discus and he had a mediocre outing with it.

BUT, he did very well in the shot put and along with his teammate Matt – who is mainly a middle distance runner and hadn't thrown the shot put in weeks – Stepinac came fifth. A good showing since Tim is a freshman and Matt a sophomore, and the other schools had varsity throwers.

Tim's three throws were 29'5", done without the glide windup, and then 30'11" and 31'1". So he broke 30 feet on his second throw for the first time, and then broke 31 feet. Cool.

Here are his second and third throws, and you can see the glide …

and here's his new PR – 31'1".
