Throw One Deep Club Dominates

By SteveU

Many of the athletes at NON are identified by the club they represent outside their track season and are decked out in garb from said club. Still, we know most of them by their high school affiliation.

Not so much so with the girls of Throw One Deep. They are known for their hammer throwing, an event not contested in Georgia or many other states. Saturday, they hammered the competition into submission by taking the top four and six of the top eight places.

It was no surprise that Lassiter (Marietta GA) sr Emily Bernhardt led the way. Although she fouled three times, each of her fair throws was good enough to win the competition, including the first. That one marked 168-02, while the her fourth was the best one at 169-01.

“I started out just trying to get a feel for the ring,” Bernhardt said. “I was going to fast at first. I pulled one out of the sector and had a foot foul.”

She added that two of the fouls were in the 178-180 foot range, increasing her confidence heading into USATF. “I’m really finally beginning to believe in myself. USATF (and making worlds team) is what I’ve been thinking about since I first threw 180. I’ve been pointing to it since the beginning of the year.”

TOD members Allison Horner (158-05) and Patrice Gates (147-06) rounded out the top three.

Pocatello, Idahoan Maureen Griffin's 1998 National record of
201-7 looks better with every passing season. No one at NON 2006 was
anywhere close to being in Griffin's league.
Marietta, Ga. claimed the first two spots in the nation with the exploits
of senior Emily Bernhardt (169-1) and sophomore Allison Horner (158-5.) Two
more Georgians, both freshmen, Patrice Gates of Villa Rica (147-6) and Lauren
Chambers of Kell High. Acworth (143-11) went 3-4 to make this a peach of an
event.

"I wanted the meet record (Griffin's 187-10 in 1997) and I'm upset that I
didn't get it," said Bernhardt. "I was so loose, but I fouled two of my
(preliminary round) throws."

She also fouled toss No. 5 but all three of her legal throws were in the
51-meter (167ish) range.
