Updates from the 52nd Annual Mt. SAC Relays

Saturday was another good day at the office for Amber. In a big field of throwers that were invited from around the country and the world. Amber placed 1st with a throw of 71.04m (233'01") Personal Record. Facing down some serious competition with some hard core competitors: Sultana Frizell, Britney Henry, Eva Orban, Loree Smith, Crystal Smith, Erin Gilreath, Megann Rodhe, and Sharon Ayala.
Good Job Amber and keep Throwin Long, and Throwin Strong.

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.
