Boys Javelin - Michael Moody's first toss 198-10 stands up
by Pete Cava
“My strategy coming into the meet was not to throw too much,”
said Michael Moody, the previously unheralded winner of the javelin competition.
Moody's first-round toss of 198-10 stood up, giving the senior from North
Yarmouth Academy (Portland, Maine) a surprise victory. Moody bettered his
previous best, 194-7, by four feet, three inches.
Preston Chatham (Covington, LA), who came in with the best seed mark (210-2),
wound up second. The LSU signee turned in a 197-8 mark, also on his first try.
Third place went to Justin Shirk (Harrisburg, PA), who threw 196-3 in the second
round.
“I needed to relax and bring down my adrenaline a little bit,” Moody told North
Carolina A&T sports information director Brian Holloway, “because I just had
states on Tuesday. I’ve used the last two days to recover. I don’t know if
competing back-to-back like that was an advantage today. I’m just glad I didn’t
compete yesterday.”
A convert to spear competition, Moody was tickled by his surprising triumph.
“This feels good, considering I used to be a sprinter,” he said. “I got hurt, so
I went to the javelin and it’s been good to me.”
