Javelin world record noted amid full Huntsman results

Cindi Blevins, track meet director of last week’s Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah, graciously sent us this results file. It lists everyone who competed at Huntsman, not just the medalists (and the metric marks as well). She also draws our attention to a wonderful performance. “Bill Platts broke an American Record in the 80-84 javelin,” Cindi writes. In fact, Bill threw 39.06 meters (128-2) to better his own listed M80 world record of 38.80 (127-7), set at Spokane nationals the opening day of the Beijing Olympics (8/8/08). Nice throw, Bill! Now go get ’em, Bud!
