Harvey Lewellen sets four M80 American records at Fling

M80 Harvey Lewellen was one of two dozen entrants April 25 at the Seattle Spring Fling, a masters throwsfest in Washington. And he got his money’s worth. George Mathews reports: “Harvey Lewellen broke four American records with marks of 15.23 (49-11 3/4) in the weight throw, 8.26 (27-1 14) in the superweight throw and  40.13 (131-8) in the hammer throw. He also set a new American record in the throws pentathlon with a mark of 4762.” Complete results are here. In addition, former USATF masters throws coordinator Dick Hotchkiss broke his M70 American record in the ultraweight pentathlon and his pending record with a score of 4534. Here’s a link to what they throw and what they weigh. “Four athletes completed both pentathlons,” George writes, listing Tim Shannon, Bill Deeter, Dick Hotchkiss and Bob Ward. Great jobs, gents!  Especially Harvey and Dick!
