Watch Myrle Mensey on TV give shot lesson in narrow hallway
Myrle Mensey, the record-setting thrower and our Athlete of the Year a year ago, threw the spotlight on her young proteges this week in a St. Louis TV segment. (See it here.) Promoting her Throwing and Growing group of girls and a Dec. 27 throws camp (masters invited), Myrle put on a mini-clinic in a narrow hallway lined by framed posters. Not a place for a sector foul. But she showed rudiments of the shot, using a partial ring. Not sure what the shots were made of. But a Missouri state champion shared her testimony (you don’t have to be short and stout to excel at throws.) Myrle looks great at 65.

Very good little TV segment.
It was raining really hard. That’s why we were inside. What a bummer. Sophia is 16 and throws 46ft in the shot, 140ft discus and 150 ft javelin.Great athlete
