Throws Group Shines at BC Athletics Challenge in Kamloops

Our Valley Royals throwers headed up to Kamloops for provincials on Saturday, July 24. In the U18 men’s hammer throw, Jackson Trustham and Gurtaj Aulakh faced off against an extremely strong field of throwers. While no personal bests were set, both athletes showed great improvement since the beginning of the season. Aidan Ansell also put forth a great effort in the U16 men’s hammer throw. 
 
In discus, Gurtaj fell short of a medal but was happy to set a personal best of more than 37m. Aidan was able to also set a personal best and snag first place. Building on that success, Aidan went on to win the shot put with another personal best. 
 

Proud of all those personal bests and great throws!
