New England High School Hammer Throw Championships (RI) Results
Despite poor weather, the New England High School Hammer Throw Championships Tuesday evening. Thunder, lightning and torrential rain delayed the meet, and the competitions with international implements were limited to just three throws. But that didn’t stop multiple great performances at the competition. Ryan Morel (Bishop Hendricken, Warwick, RI), fresh off of a big personal best at the Rhode Island State Championships, produced the second best result of his career to capture the win over Garrett Doyle (Lincoln, RI). Jake Dalton (Andover, MA) threw a personal best for third, and freshman Logan Coles (Woonsocket, RI) hit 200 feet for the first time ever. Gianna Rao (Ponaganset, North Scituate, RI) won the girl’s competition over Annika Kelly (Barrington, RI). Kelly also set a new meet record in the 3-kilogram competition.
