Carol Young adds name to American record list in hammer
Ed Burke, meet Carol Young. The same weekend that M70 Ed threw a possible WR in the hammer at Mt. SAC, W70 Carol threw an American record in the same event — across the country. At the USATF Georgia Association Masters Track and Field Championship at Georgia Southern University, Carol had this series in the 3-kilogram hammer: 29.06, 28.97, 27.59, 26.09, FOUL FOUL. The listed American record for the W70 hammer is 25.29 (82-11), so Carol’s best mark of 29.06 (95-4) is a huge improvement. Nice job. Complete meet results are here, thanks to meet director Jim Hite. Carol throws for the well-named Throw1Deep club, based in Georgia. Teammates include American (open) record holder Erin Gilreath.

Watched Carol Young up in Fort Collins. Her form is beautiful. Virtually perfect turns.
