Ran my first Masters meet this weekend. Won my age group in high jump and discus - which wasn't hard as I was the only one in my age group :lol:

5'4" in the High Jump -

1st in age group

1st in Masters

4th overall behind:
Xavier Clais - just graduated college jumper who has jumped over 7'
Erika Schroll - just graduated from college 6'+ woman jumper on her way to Nationals
...and 1 high school kid.

I actually beat the other high school age kid who was entered.

I threw 25.x meters in the disc, which I was also pretty happy with - even though almost everyone else out threw me.

Congrats!! I would be happy with those marks, especially for a first meet. You will definitely improve upon those efforts. Best of luck.

I'm happy with the marks considering how long it has been since I've jumped/thrown - but it's hard not to think about what I used to do in those events...

Yeah, after 15 years off, I find that the only event I'm even CLOSE to resembling my collegiate self is the shot put and even there I'm 1.3 meters off.
