USATF National Youth Championships

The warm up arena
USATF Youth National Championships in Geneva Ohio
Day 1 with Javelin was postponed due to smoke from the Canadian wildfires.
The poor lonely javelins that want to be thrown
My heat of the 15-16 girls javelin. We were the top ranked. 
Warm ups

I tweaked my elbow, so not my best throwing, but I'm giving Jerry (my javelin) a kiss for good luck. 
I made the National Finals!! 
Waiting for awards
8th place was competing in a different event, because the awards were 2.5 hours after the event. 

I placed 5th in the nation and was given All American Honors with my 79'10" throw. . .about 10 feet off my PR. 

I skipped some throw, because my elbow was really bothering me. 




This was as close as dad was allowed to discus. I missed finals by one place. I finished 9th overall with a throw of 88'9"


On to shot put, where I was not expected to be anywhere near finals. I had a great day, threw 29'1.75" to just make finals and place 8th!!!

In the back of the line. I was TINY compared to the rest of the girls!



Heading over to triple jump from shot put. LOL Super weird combo.

No photos of me triple jumping, but I jumped 29'9.25" and placed 12th. 


My 8th place medal and All-American honors in shot put!!


With both medals
