Good for Tim. At the CHSAA varsity<\/span> intersectional championships he hits a new PR\/PB in the javelin of 135’10”. That was good for ninth place in a field of 37. He was one of the very few freshman competitors in the whole meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was far and away the biggest meet of the year. Between spectators and participants there had to be well over three thousand people. Of course in a track meet there are events going on simultaneously, so I suppose not too many people would be paying attention to the javelin throw, but still great experience for Tim to be participating in front of so many people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same venue as the past few weeks – Icahn Stadium on Randall’s Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And another view – that’s the East River separating Randall’s from Manhattan. Tim is actually in this picture, sitting on a steeple chase obstacle over on the left side, talking to his coach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here they are. Tim’s “flight” of throwers is finished and they are waiting for the final flight to finish throwing. Tim’s coach, Nick Mitchell, has done a wonderful job with the Stepinac track team.You won’t be able to tell, but Tim is smiling in this picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s Tim’s last throw and a bit of blabbering by me. This throw put Tim into 2nd or 3rd place, but since there’s seeding the final flight had the best throwers and they pushed Tim down the placing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
