Teolis and Thiessen Represent Ultra Throw with Determination in Eugene
On June 21, Ultra Throw Club youth athletes Megan Teolis and Angelica Thiessen took to the international stage at the prestigious Nike Outdoor Nationals in Eugene, Oregon—an event that brings together top high school talent from across North America.
Competing in the Emerging Elite Girls 4kg Hammer Throw, both athletes faced heavy rain and challenging conditions. But true to Ultra Throw spirit, they gave it their all, staying positive and determined throughout the meet.
Megan Teolis, fresh off a personal best of 50.00m earlier this season in Kamloops, had a strong warm-up but unfortunately fouled all three of her competition attempts. It was a tough outcome, but a valuable learning experience at a high-stakes meet.
Angelica Thiessen also faced the elements head-on, fouling her first two throws before securing a legal mark on her third attempt. While neither athlete advanced to the top nine, both walked away with valuable experience, fresh motivation, and a clear sense of where they want to go next.
The Nike Outdoor Nationals is not just a competition—it’s an opportunity to grow, test oneself against some of the best, and be part of an elite track and field atmosphere. Despite the weather, a heavier implement (they use a 3kg in Canada) the girls brought home memories, resilience, and smiles—and that’s a win in our books.
Congratulations, Megan and Angelica—we’re proud of your hard work, courage, and commitment to growth on and off the field. Onward and upward!

Ultra Throw Youth Athlete Sets Back-to-Back Personal Bests
Ultra Throw Club youth athlete Megan Teolis put her power and perseverance on full display during a doubleheader weekend at the Kamloops Twilight Meets in late April—earning not one, but two personal bests in the 3kg hammer throw.
On Friday, April 25, Megan delivered a clean series of throws, culminating in a strong PB of 49.20m on her fourth attempt. But she wasn’t done yet.
Despite a challenging start the next day—with four fouls in her first five throws—Megan regrouped, refocused, and launched a massive 50.00m throw on her very last attempt on Saturday, April 26. That final throw not only salvaged the meet but marked a significant milestone in her progression as a thrower.
Breaking the 50-metre barrier is a standout achievement for any youth athlete, and Megan’s performance is a testament to her technical skill, mental resilience, and work ethic. Facing tough conditions and pressure in the circle, she found a way to deliver when it counted most.
We’re incredibly proud of Megan for her continued growth and her fierce focus on improvement. These back-to-back PBs show she’s on a strong upward trajectory, and we can’t wait to see what she’ll accomplish next!
Way to go, Megan!
