Throws athletes of all ages…
The Ultra Throw Festival returned to McLeod Athletic Park on July 19–20, drawing athletes from across the province for two days of spirited competition in the throws. The event featured six disciplines: hammer, shot put, discus, javelin, weight, and super weight—providing a full spectrum of opportunity for development and high performance.

Record-breaker, Christine Dalgleish said, “Thank you so much to the Ultra Throw Festival organizing committee and BC Athletics officials who took on this wonderful two-day event. You created an environment that was inclusive, inviting and welcoming. The challenging event saw the masters athletes rise to the challenge of taking on not only a throws pentathlon but also a throws triathlon and the super weight if we wished and boy, did I wish! I signed up for all that but the organizers and officials deserve the accolades for signing up to make it happen for us.”
This festival was a celebration of both emerging and experienced talent, and we’re proud to see the throwing community continue to grow.
Registration is underway for our September Throws Festival via Trackie. Thank you for supporting Ultra Throw!

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!
