Throwers Rejoice! Weight Throw Added To Indoor State Meet

Plattsburgh, NY - The 2014 NYSPHSAA Central Committee Meeting is currently underway, and we've just received word that the long gestating push to include the weight throw has been approved for the 2014 season.  In addition to the revocation of the jewelry rule, things have been shaping up well in the future of our sport.  Many see this as a way to bridge the gap to include Hammer throw in the spring state meet, which would make us one event short of including every Olympic Event in Track and Field.  That last event would be Javelin, another throwing event.  Below, read the proposal made by Oscar Jensen, long-time coach in Section 3, and Indoor Boys State Coordinator for Indoor Track.
