JAVELIN RESULTS

Keith Gill was confident he'd win today, as the javelin had the name "GILL" embossed on it; however, it was not to be. Great drama unfolded between Steve McNamara and Luis Oyola as they battled for first place. However, in the final round, Steve unleashed a mighty throw that went deep, deep, then ALAS - he fouled.

Our great defending women's champion, Karen McNamara, began her defense with a foul, and tried her best. However, she couldn't catch the far throwing arm of Mary Gardner, who began her toss in the 50 feet range, and kept it there for all three throws.

Despite the glare coming into the competitor's eyes from the sunlight bouncing off Barbara North's "mooning" them, and Richie Orazem continuously seeming to aim his throws at the females measuring, the Fourth Annual Javelin Competition ended safely for all. See you next year.
