OREGON TWILIGHT




I really enjoyed competing in the Oregon Twilight on Friday May 9th at Hayward Field. There was a great field of women hammer throwers and I had a great opening mark of 65.38 (214'7"), which is the farthest I've opened up to date and also ended up being my farthest throw for the competition. I had some foot fouls out of the ring during the competition but am working on getting my technique that will ultimately allow me to throw far. My next meet is in Tucson, Arizona and I am excited to start seeing my throw come together!

OREGON RELAYS



We were really lucky and had great weather for the Oregon Relays on April 25th and 26th. I won the competition and opened up with almost 64 meters (209'10") and then got my best throw of the day on my last throw with 65.42 meters (214'7") This was my first time competing in the new hammer cage that was made for the Olympic Trials. I was exited to open up with a far throw, because that is exactly what I will need to do for the Trials. I'm looking forward to my next meet in May at the Oregon Twilight!
