Valley Royal Throwers
Lillian, Cash and Derek participated in the first ever BC Indoor Track & field Championships! All earned strong personal bests and awards making their coach very proud.
Lillian started shot putting just over a month ago and earned silver with a 8.82m throw. She started hammer throw last season and wanted to try weight throw…She landed a solid 9m throw and a second silver!!
Cash learned how to do a weight throw turn during warm up! He started with a 5.47m throw and finished with a solid 8.39 m throw and bronze medal!
Cash had a goal of 7 m in shot put and did not disappoint with a solid 6.99m throw, placing fourth in a very tough field!
Derek was very focused and had three throws over 10m in shot put, with his best being 10.75 placing him in 2nd!
Great work. We are all very excited for the outdoor season! – Coach Debbie
