I competed in my first outdoor meet on April 21st at the Oregon Invitational. Unfortunately weather conditions were poor with lots of rain and wind. Despite this set back, I opened up higher than I ever have before at 201'2". Last year I opened up at 199'3" at the Oregon Preview and threw 205'1" at last years Oregon Invitational. With my new coaching and new technique it is hard to throw the same numbers as I did last year, so I am really excited to see that I am very close to last years PR's (Personal Records). Training has been going great and I will throw in my second meet of the season this weekend on the 5th of May at the Oregon Twilight in Eugene, OR. The Oregon Twilight is unique from the other University of Oregon meets because it is held in the evening. With the new lighting system installed for the 2008 Olympic Trials, this meet should be great for spectators. and athletes. I hope to see a jump in my numbers as I become more comfortable using new technique in a competition setting. I'll keep you posted on my results.
