Here’s Tim’s last throw in the shot put event, which was held in the morning. He was the last thrower in the finals, and already had won, so this was just for a PR (personal record) and he nailed a fine throw of 47’8″.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the big Somers Lions Club meet – always a nice event – he won the shot put while getting a new PR, and came third in the javelin. At 159’0″ he was almost nine feet off his personal best in the javelin, but he was throwing after several hours on a hot day, and off a grass surface instead of turf.<\/p>\n
Tim is still ranked #4 in the state in the javelin, but in this meet he was edged out by 7 inches by another Stepinac boy, junior Tyquel Fields. Tyquel will be the QB for the Stepinac football team next year. He’s a real division 1 quarterback prospect.<\/p>\n
It’s kind of funny to compare the builds of the two boys. Despite being 7 inches taller than Tim (who is 5’9″), at 205 lbs Tim outweighs him.<\/p>\n
With them is Joe Venice who coaches football and track, and taught Tim for two years at Stepinac (and is a great guy – a Stepinac grad himself).<\/p>\n
