The season opened in style at StoneX Stadium this weekend, highlighted by a record-breaking performance from Oriana Johnson in the hammer. Oriana launched the implement out to 18.46m, setting a new club W60 record and continuing the excellent progress shown in her recent training.

She also produced strong supporting performances in the other throws, recording 16.12m in the discus and 6.12m in the shot put, completing an impressive all-round competition.

In the U16 boys discus, Holder Botha delivered one of the standout performances of the day with a 3-metre personal best of 34.61m. The throw secured victory in the Pool 1 group and marks an excellent early-season result that points towards even longer throws as the summer progresses. 

A very encouraging start to the season for the club’s throwers, with records falling and personal bests already on the board.
