Madison Throws Club has been working with throwers from around the State of Wisconsin and beyond for 10 years now, but the 2012 throwers raised the bar like no other group has in the past. I couldn't be more proud of the hard-work and dedication shown by every athlete that I have had the opportunity to work with but some of these athletes have set the bar higher for the athletes that will follow them and deserve special recognition.
Several MTC athletes had throws that put them on the ALL-TIME performance list for the State of Wisconsin.
