RITCA Invitational (RI) Results

Adam Kelly (Barrington, RI) produced the first 80-foot throw of the season, and the first 80-foot throw of his career, to win at this year’s Rhode Island Track Coaches Association Invitational in Providence on Saturday. All six of his throws eclipsed his previous season’s best and were also better than runner-up and teammate Bobby Colantonio (Barrington, RI) who bettered his personal best set earlier this month. In the girl’s competition Alva Hicks (Classical, Providence, RI) improved her season’s best by four feet for a convincing win and also moved into the national lead. Lysah Russell (Classical, Providence, RI) also threw a big four foot personal best to place second.
