13 competitors with officials from BC Athletics pose for a group shot on Sept. 24

Since Ultra Throw Club was registered in 2015, its members have been testing their might when we close out each season with our Club Championships.

This year’s meet was held on September 24 at the McLeod Athletic Park, Langley. Although it was a Club Championship, a limited number of other athletes were also permitted to participate. Three participants had come from far-flung areas. George Mathews came from Seattle, Jim Dyer from Quesnel and Andrew Arthur from Calgary. This speaks volumes for the popularity and good standing of the Club.

The 13 participants put up their best performances. Weather conditions were commensurate with record performances. There were three events that were contested by most of the participants which included the Throws Pentathlon, Throws Triathlon, and Super Weight Throw. The participants achieved the following results in their respective events.

Pentathlon or Triathlon:

Andrew Arthur Gold (pentathlon), Gold (super weight)

Alan Coles Gold (triathlon)

Jim Dyer Gold (pentathlon), Silver (super weight)

Paramjit Gill Silver (pent.), Silver (super weight)

We are grateful to the B.C. Athletics officials, led by John and Carol Cull.

With each passing year, our Club goes from strength to strength. We will chalk out our off-season practice to keep various competitions coming up during 2024 in view so that we take off from where we have left now.

The much-awaited Masters Multi-Events Meet was held on Aug. 27 at the South Surrey Athletic Park hosted by the Greyhounds. Four of our Club members participated in the Throws Pentathlon, and each of their performances was commendable. The result achieved by them has further enhanced the status of our Club at the head of the list of the throwing clubs in the country. The credit for these performances goes to the individual athletes for their grit and perseverance and the dogged devotion of their coach, Dave McDonald.

Individual results are as follows:

• Gabriella Moro. (75–79). She took part in the Throws Pentathlon and scored 3806 Points, which is quite close to the present BC record in this event. She earned a well-deserved Gold Medal. In the run-up, she also broke the B.C. record in Discus Throw with her best throw of 23.44 M. She fully deserves commendation for this performance.

• Elizabeth Rollins (70–74). She also performed well in the Throws Pentathlon by scoring 3609 Points and equaled the score of Rose Hare, a seasoned and renowned athlete of another Track and Field club. She also deserves full accolades for her performance.

• Mohan Bains (70–74). He also took part in the Throws Pentathlon and scored 3364 Points, showing a marked improvement of nearly three hundred points from his performance in the World Masters in the month of July this year.

• Harnek Toor (75–79). He also took part in the Throws Pentathlon and performed quite creditably. He broke the Canadian record in it which eluded him last year. He scored 3962 points eclipsing the existing record set by Marek Glowacki in 2016. In addition to the Throws Pentathlon, he also broke his own Canadian record in Weight Throw with a throw of 15.74 M and his own BC record in Hammer Throw with a throw of 37.56 M.

Our compliments to the champions!
