Hot Weekend for Alum Throwers

With the mercury soaring to 90+ degrees this past weekend, the STJ Alum throwers keep on looking for that perfect performance.

Vin Insingo (Class of 1992) competed at both the New Jersey International in Holmdel, NJ on Saturday and the Island Games held at Mitchel Field, Uniondale, Long Island on Sunday. Given the weather conditions Vin produced creditable performances in both meets winning the former and finishing second in the latter. Vin exceeded 50 meters in both meets. Next week Vin will be competing down in Monmouth, New Jersey.

Grace Zollman (Class of 2006) defied the tough conditions to throw 48.14 meters at New Jersey International in Holmdel, NJ. While not Grace's best throw of the season, it was her best throw off grass ever. Since many facilities do not have a center field with a Javelin runway, Javelin throwers are often relegated to throwing off grass which is a sub optimal situation. Grace will be competing at the Louie Anthony Williams memorial at Icahn stadium on Randall's Island this weekend.
