Meet Information
YOURE INVITED!
9th ANNUAL ROCK N ROLL THROW-OFF Saturday, January 28, 2017, 11pm-5pm Lancaster High School Field House
ABOUT THE MEET
The 9th Annual Rock N Roll Throw-off features scholastic throwers from Western New York and New York State as well as clubs from Georgia and Ontario Canada. We will be running two circles for the shot put and one for the weight throw. The top 18 seeds will compete in the main circle in two flights and will be eligible for finals. Unseeded flights will run concurrently with the seeded flights. All competitors will get three throws. The top eight in the shot put and weight throw will advance to the finals where they will be given three throws.
Lancaster provides a state of the art field house as well as an NCAA official cage. An advanced sound system creates a LOUD atmosphere to create energy and DEEP throws, much like the Millrose Games.
