M45 Roald Bradstock spears a 225 at Georgia invitational

Roald Bradstock, who competed in last year’s Olympic Trials at age 46, popped a nice one yesterday at the Spec Towns Invitational in Georgia, throwing the javelin 68.62 meters (225-1) for his best mark of the season. He also won the event, beating kids less than half his age! Roald noted a crappy wind but writes: “will be throwing again next week at UGA — hoping for good conditions and smash 70M.” If he throws 70 meters (229-8), he’ll be close to the qualifying standard for the U.S. championships of 70.50 (231-3), which produces a team for IAAF worlds in Berlin this summer. Roald also is blogging about Art and the Olympics.

    Looks like everyone of Roald’s throws was better than anybody else could muster. Speaks very well for him and not so well for the state of collegiate speer-werfing, at least not at the schools involved in this meet.
