Texas Throwers Invitational
Resuts from May 15, 2011





The 3rd annual Texas Throwers Invitational - Boerne was our most successful meet ever. We ended up with 43 throwers of all ages. The day started out at a cool 55-60 degrees with a pretty good wind. Later in the afternoon the wind calmed and the temperature rose to a comfortable 80 degrees. The facilites were the best we've had; two shot areas in the midst of the shade trees, two discus/hammer rings with rear entry cages, and ample room for the javelin. All the fields were lined so we marked the throws instead of measuring each one, and we kept the flights to 10 or less. As a result the meet flowed real well. There were several new Texas Throwers Invitational records set (see below) as well as good performances at all levels. It was a good time and we tripled our donation to the Special Olympics of Texas. Below are a few comments we received at the end of the day and later via email :

"Best meet I've been to in a long time"; " Nice job, the meet ran real well, it flowed real nice, the goody bags were great and the facilities were real nice"; "Really enjoyed the Pachenga and the hanging out getting to know the throwers and the meet was first rate"; "Another great meet by the Texas Throwers Club, I'm glad I came"; And from our new USATF Judges, "great meet, we do a lot of meets and this was one of the better ones we've gone to, its a great bunch of throwers and real nice how they encourage each other"
