1st Annual International  Implements Challenge

Dartmouth College  -  Hanover, NH

August 16-17, 2003

 

FINAL RESULTS

 

The first ever International Implements Challenge for Master's throwers was held August 16 and 17, 2003 at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Over thirty men and women competed over the two days in the five weight events, all at international standards, the 16 pound shot put, the 16 pound hammer, the 2 kilo discus, the 800gram javelin and the 35 pound weight. It was a very enthusiastic group.

 

Some highlights of the two-day meet are: Knut Hjeltnes, age 52, set an American record for his age in the 2k discus, 49.53 meters; Carl Wallin, age 61, set a World and American record for his age in the 35 pound weight throw, 13.42 meters; and Rich De Stefano, age 32, qualified for the Olympic Trials in the javelin, 70.50 meters. A non-Master competitor, Sean Furey of Dartmouth College, set a new school record in the javelin of 70.83 meters, which also qualifies him for the Olympic Trials.
