2012 West Relays: Baumann & Zahn Battle

The 2012 Madison West Relays Class B meet offered a second playground for Madison Throws Club Throwers' Jason Zahn (sr) Grafton and Theron Baumann (sr) Monona Grove. There Battle at the Nelson Daniels Relays put them on top of the State honor roll list and this past Saturday offered up more of the same. Jason threw 58' 10.5" to capture 2nd place while Theron won the meet with a toss of 59'8.75". Theron's throw tied the B meet record set by Brodhead's A.J. Curtis in 2005.

I suspect we could be hearing more from these 2 throwers at the TFA meet and beyond.

Video of their 6 throws from the meet...and yes those are corn rows on Theron, I've threatened him with a haircut to no avail.

Kailee Kamps off to fast start in 2012

Kailee Kamps, Belmont (sr) has finally gotten a couple of meets under her belt after a late start due to her and her Belmont Girls Basketball team's successful season. She didn't take long to get back into the groove. Kailee, who will throw for the University of Minnesota next year, was the runner-up in both the Shot Put and Discus at the WIAA D3 State meet last year. Kailee surpassed her shot put P.R. with a throw of 43'3.5" and in an early outdoor meet went 136'9" in the discus.

Keep up the good work!

Keegan Kamps, Kailee's freshman sister went 105'11" in the discus in her first high school meet.

Dave's site also has an early season photo spread of some of the skilled girls throwers from around the state that return to compete in 2012. MTCer's Kailee, Keegan, and Paige Day are pictured.

Madison Throws Club girls sweep City Meet Shot Put

Congratulations to KeKe Burks, Madison LaFollette (sr) won the girls shot put at the 2012 Madison City Indoor Track and Field Championships on March 24 at the UW Shell.
The University of North Dakota recruit threw for a new P.R. of 38'0.25". She had several throws that surpassed that mark but she could not stay in the circle on her bigger efforts. I believe there is more to come Ms. Burks.
Many other MTC'ers got in the act sweeping the top 4 spots and 6 of the top 8 spots.
1. KeKe Burks, LaFollette 38'0.25"
2. Corinne Franz, Memorial 33'8.5"
3. Jessi Ford, Memorial 31'6.75"
4. Kariah Davis, LaFollette 29'4.75"
6. Christina McFeely, Memorial 28'6.5"
7. Allyson Opps, East 28'6"

Theron Baumann goes BIG

Video by D.Hahn




At the first meet of the season we may have seen a preview of power in the Division 1 boys throwing events. Friday night at the Nelson Daniel's Classic, Madison Throws Club throwers Theron Baumann (Monona Grove) and Jason Zahn (Grafton) battled it out in the Shot Put. Baumann's throw of 60'3" won the meet with Zahn chasing at 57'8.5". Theron was rotating in the Shot Put for the first time in competition and broke the 60 foot barrier, it could mean the rest of the throwers in the state are on notice that bigger throws could come in June. Jason and Theron are the Top returning Throwers in D1 Boys throws. Jason has thrown the shot over 59' already this winter and was the runner-up in the Discus last year at state. Theron had top 4 finishes in both the Shot and Discus last year. Great start gentleman and good luck in future competitions.

2012 WIAA SEASON BEGINS

As the competition season begins I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone good luck. If you are competing this weekend...don't over do it. Find a balance between the excitement of finally getting to throw in a meet and trying to do too much too early. Remember good form and technique now, will allow you to throw further as the season finds its way into April, May and hopefully June. Try not to throw further with pure brute force and leave all of the hard work you have put into good technique behind all for one measurement in March.

Keep working hard and
Throw Far,
Coach Frontier

Luke Sullivan Clinic

Throwers who attended the clinic can take a look at what you look like on video. Remember this is just the first week of the season - Look at what you need to work on and get to work :)
Coach Sullivan thanks you for attending as do I. I like Coach Frederick's suggestion of writing a few things down that you learned or that coach's pointed out for you to work on...sometimes its easy to forget. Best of luck this season.

If Madison Throws Club can be of any help this season or this summer feel free to contact me.
Until then...THROW FAR!
