Mensey’s trifecta: hammer, weight, superweight records in 1 day

Our 2013 USATF Masters Athlete of the Year Myrle Mensey continues to hammer the W65 records. Throwing Sept. 28 at Gary Cooper’s homegrown center in Troy, Missouri, she beat the listed WR in the 12-pound weight throw with a heave of 16.81 meters (55-1 3/4). Previous WR was 16.77 (55-0) by Holland’s Annie van Anholt in 2012. Myrle also extended her own American records in the hammer and 20-pound superweight to 39.61 (129-11 1/2) and 11.41 (37-5 1/4), respectively. Still looming is the W65 hammer WR of 44.38 (145-7 1/4) by Germany’s Jutta Schäfer way back in 1997. Myrle writes: “And I’m not finished. I think I got some better ones in me.” Results of the USATF-sanctioned throws meet where Myrle went bonkers are posted here. I converted the Word doc into a PDF here. Mega-mazel-tov to Myrle!

MM is 'mmmm, 'mmmm good in the hammer and weight throws.

    Great throws! (And I told Annie she lost a record, maybe it stimulates her…)
