The “Javelin Throwers” CYO Meet of Champions

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

All levels of “Turbo Javelin” competitors have thrown the same device for nearly 20 years.  At the Cadet level of the Javelin, a new product known as the “Finn Flyer” was introduced in 2018.  It is longer, more slender and closer in style to the high school javelin though it is shorter and does not have the sharp point.  New records for this event were established this year for cadets.  The old turbo javelin records will be retained in the archives of the CYO.

Madeline Fey (St. Pius X) holds the Cadet Girls Turbo Javelin record at 136’3″ & Joe Nizich (St. John the Apostle) holds the Cadet boys Turbo Javelin record at 194′ 8″.

Roadrunner Girls: Madilynn Andrews (Christ the King) 86′ 9.50″ RECORD BREAKER The old record was 78′ 9″ set by Lena Childress (Madeleine).

Roadrunner Boys: Vicente Harrison II (Cathedral School) 100′ 3″

Cub Girls: Hayden Williams-Downing (Our Lady of the Lake) 101′ 9.25″

The third week of Track and Field meets were held at La Salle College Prep, Valley Catholic, Seton Catholic and Hillsboro.  I went to Seton to have a glimpse of their first season of hosting track and field for CYO and it was spectacular.  I focused on the 4 x 400 meter relay handoffs which I think you will enjoy!

Track and Field began April 14th with four meets around the Greater Portland area including Valley Catholic, LaSalle, Seton Catholic and Liberty.  With 1750 participants this year, three or four sites are scheduled each week to accommodate the participants.  As we walked to the stadium at Valley Catholic, a race was concluding as team mates were shouting, “Go Bernie, Go!”  Bernie won the 800 Cub Boys race!
