2016-17 Shocker Outdoor Track & Field

[WuDrWu]

Hunter ready to throw.

Hunter fouled, just outside the scoring area, but it appeared to be a solid effort, beyond 38 meters, to me at least.

If he'd squared that one up I think it would have been near 40. You like to get a score in there, but it appeared to be an encouraging effort.

2nd throw is fair, but not that solid. 116'5" or 35.49 good for 574 points.

Needs a good 3 meters more on his final effort.

Hunter throws third in the second flight which is now underway.

His first throw is a Foul.

[1972Shocker]

Hunter's 1st throw was not terrible on distance but it was just barely out of bounds to the right for a foul. He needs to get a solid throw on on his 2nd attempt so that he can perhaps really go for it on his 3rd attempt.

35.49 for 574 on Hunter's second throw.

His last throw is 36.70 for 598.

He is now eighth through seven events with a total of 5764 with a few throws from other decathletes to come.

EDIT: With all throws completed, the above place for Hunter still stands.

Needs to improve on that on his final throw. That would be bit disappointing if that holds up.

His 1st throw was probably his best but released it a fraction of a second to soon as it was out of bounds by maybe a couple of inches.

I think he may be in 5th after 7 events. Several guys above in the current standigns already have PV scores in their totals. Back them out and I think he is in 5th depending on how the discus finishes up.

Thanks. I was going to check if there were Pole Vault scores in there (I thought a drop of three places was kinda big), and then I did not go back and do it. Fourth place is now 72 points away.

Flight Two of the Pole Vault has begun as Flight One is finishing up.

It appears that Hunter does not intend to start jumping until 4.41m (14-5 1/2). This assumes I can read the results spreadsheet properly. :)

I think that is typicla for Hunter to pass on some of the lower heights. He is a very solid vaulter.

4th place Bastien cleared 4.81 for 852 points. Veith would need to clear 5.11 for 944 point to pass him and take over 4th. 6th Lawson is in the same group as Veith.

He is capable of that but that would be 16-8.75 which is his career best which he set at the 2017 Valley Indoor meet in the heptathlon. His best outdoor jump is 4.82 (15-9.75) set in the open pole vault at the 2017 Valley Outdoor Championships (on a very windy day). 16-8.75 is a tall order indeed.

Something else to keep an eye on is the all-time MVC record of 7891 points.

Yikes!!

Hunter never got off the ground on his second attempt. He has one more chance at 4.41 or else he No Heights.

EDIT: He clears the height with ease.

Got it. Cleared the bar easily with room to spare on his 3rd jump. Hopefully, he has it figured out now. That was a bit tense.

[flyingMoose]

Easily over 4.51 on his first attempt.
