Penn Relays
This past Saturday, I competed in the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, PA. There were competitors from Canada and Jamaica. I had a lot of fun competing against the other ladies, and came out with a good mark. My throw of 68.00m was good for a second place finish. Here is the listing of the complete results.1 Bethany Hart USATF OD 68.58 (225-0)

Throws Information
Throwing formats
In Olympic throwing events -- men's and women's shot put, discus, hammer and javelin -- the competition begins with a qualifying round in which the entire field is divided into two or more groups. In this round, competitors take turns attempting to reach a pre-set distance that automatically advances them to the final. If fewer than 12 athletes meet the distance required from direct qualification, the 12 competitors with the best throws, plus any athletes tying for 12th, advance to the final. In the final round, competitors take turns until each has attempted three throws. At this point, the top eight-ranked competitors (plus ties) receive three more throws. The best throw of the six is counted and the athlete with the longest throw is declared the winner. In case of a tie, the second-best throw is consulted.
