Polar Bear Hammer Meet (WA) Results

The outdoor season kicked off in Washington last weekend with the Polar Bear Hammer Meet. The weather matched the name, with rain and cold temperatures, but it didn’t stop many athletes from starting the year off with a new best. Tim Beard (Kamiak, Mukilteo, WA) led the boys competition by adding eight feet to his personal best. Second place went to his teammate Poun Phongprasansak (Kamiak, Mukilteo, WA) with a huge breakthrough.

While there were fewer personal bests in the girl’s competition, the level was quite high. Maddie Rabing (Lakeridge, Lake Oswego, OR) tossed 162’1″ to win, just three feet from her best. Haleigh Sudbeck (Camas, WA) took second, with another Oregonian Shelby Moran (Sherwood, OR) throwing a new best for third.
