MADISON THROWS CLUB: 2016

Congratulations to this special group of seniors on making their commitments to throw at the college level next year. Madison Throws Club is proud of all they have accomplished in their first 3 years in high school, excited they have 1 more year to push the envelope, and happy that they will have the opportunity to compete in college. Countless hours of training, determination, and dedication, have led to this...from everyone at MTC - CONGRATULATIONS!

Throw Big, Throw Far,
Coach Frontier

ERIN DUNNING - Ashwaubenon High School
Erin will be attending the University of Minnesota to throw for Coach Peter Miller and compete in the BIG TEN Conference. Erin won the 2016 WIAA D1 Girls State Shot Put crown as a junior after a runner-up finish as a sophomore. Her P.R. of 46' 9.5" in the Shot Put is the 7th best throw in Wisconsin State history. She saw big improvements in the Discus as a junior finishing the season with a P.R. of 143' 7" and finished 4th at State. Good luck future Gopher!

RHYS ENDERLE, Madison West High School
Rhys will be attending Bucknell University. Rhys swept the Madison City Outdoor Shot put and Discus titles as a junior. His 49'11" shot P.R. and 145' 3" discus P.R. are huge improvements, yet are just a hint of what he is capable of in the future. Best of luck Rhys as you join the Bison of Bucknell.

KELSEY JUDGE, Baraboo High School
Kelsey will be attending Winona State University. Kelsey finished her junior year with a 6th place finish in the D1 discus at the WIAA State Meet and a P.R. of 132'4". She has thrown 38'1" in the shot put as well. Good Luck Kelsey as you join Coach Mike Turgeon's D2 womens powerhouse throws squad!

TESS KEYZERS, Little Chute High School
Tess will be attending the University of Minnesota along with Erin Dunning. Tess won the WIAA State D2 Girls Shot Put title both her sophomore and junior year. Doing it grand fashion in 2016 with a P.R. of 47'3" shattering the D2 record by over 2 feet. Her shot put P.R. is the 6th best throw in Wisconsin state history. Good luck future Gopher!

JOSIE SCHAEFER, Baraboo High School
Josie will be attending the University of Wisconsin to throw for Coach Dave Astrauskas. Josie followed up successful frosh and soph seasons in the discus by winning the 2016 WIAA State D1 Discus title. She closed out the summer with a 3rd Place finish at the USATF Junior Championships where she had the best discus throw in Wisconsin state history 176'3". With a senior season to go Josie potentially could move the all-time mark even higher! Josie had breakout year in the shot put switching from glide to rotational, she moved her P.R. out 7 feet to 45'8" winning the WTFA State Indoor meet. Best of luck in Badger Red!

CONNOR WECKERLY, Sycamore High School (Il.)
Connor will be attending the University of Mississippi to throw from legendary Coach John Smith. Connor's P.R.s of 49'10" and 162' 9" from junior year at Baraboo High School are just the tip of the iceberg. Connor's work this off-season portent big things for his senior season at his new high school. Good luck at Ole Miss.

A couple of years ago I thought it would be cool if the ALL-TIME list for Wisconsin High School Track and Field performers had video of the actual marks. Boys and Girls Shot Put and Discus top throws? Top 10? Top 30? Top 50? I thought it would be a great device for coaches and athletes to see what made some of the great throwers in state history great. But also inspire the next generation of throwers more than just a list of names and numbers could.

Instead of wishing it I decided to see if I could start compiling it myself. I knew this would be a difficult task. How hard? I'm just getting started, so ask me later...
Obviously, there are some throws that do not have any video - however, my suspicion is there are a lot of throws on VHS tapes in a box in someones basement collecting dust.

So here is an ALL CALL to coaches, parents, athletes and track and field enthusiasts. What do you got?
Please contact me if you've got anything. Leads, film, vhs, High 8, dvds, links to youtube files...
