First Meet as a Post-Collegiate Thrower

Forza Athletics sponsored athlete Luis Rivera opened his 2016-17 season on Friday night, December 9th, 2016 at Houghton College.  The 2016 DIII Indoor Weight Throw National Champion competed in his first post-collegiate meet, opening the season with a throw of 19.52m (64').

Luis opened the season a full meter farther than he did last year, as a college senior at Nazareth College.  The goal for the meet was to open a meter farther than last year.  We were successful in those regards.  His big throw came in round 4 of the competition.  His throw of 19.52m set the facility record, a record that Luis set last year as a college senior.  Our plan is to next compete at the Buckeye Classic at Ohio State on Friday January 6th, 2017.

As always, thanks for reading!
