Bob Cedrone has released the hammer after a terrific "spin-up" and watches intently the path of the weight.

 

Unidentified hammer competitor brings the weight up to speed.  Can you find the weight ball?  It is there...!

 


 

HIGH JUMP

Almost there........

 

 

.... and over!


 

 

 

 

Veikko Honkala and Colleen Bellio from Patriot Ambulance.  In spite of all activities, Colleen did not have to use her EMT skills today.  But it was great to have her present during the events - just in case....

 

 


 

Jim Daley in the lead on the track - it was raining during the race, making it hard for the runners.


 

Mark Koutonen - prepared the track, measured javelin and hammer throws.  One of the hard working people, enabling us to hold the track and field events.

 


 

JAVELIN

Shelley is seen here getting a good release for a fine throw.

 

Laura Gerraughty is caught here at the instant of release showing her winning technique.  Laura is the U.S. High School indoor record holder in the weight throw and, after graduating from Nashua High has joined the U.S. Olympic training squad.
