It was a long day for the throwers in Tennessee last weekend. We headed out in the van at 7 am Friday to compete at the University of Tennessee and didn't get back until about 10:30 that night. The other athletes arrived much later in the day, but also didn't get home until after 1 a.m.!

Although the hours were long, this meet was a great opportunity to compete amongst some of the best athletes in the world. There were athletes from Division III schools, Division I schools, and some unattached athletes such as Tom Pappas, the reigning world outdoor champion in the decathlon who is favored to win the event in Athens, Greece, this summer.

This meet was very important for everyone to perform well, because the coaches are working on the travel roster for the indoor University Athletic Association championship meet that is the first weekend of our spring break. These next few weeks will be devoted to perfecting form and technique, and resting up to compete our best at Case Western for UAAs.
