.. More Highlights on the way! I will be updating periodically!

* For the Emerging Elite Girls Weight Throw, the first legal throw of each athlete will be measured and recorded. For all throws thereafter, only throws exceeding 32 feet will be measured and recorded. This is because of the very large field in this event and the time constraints of the competition.

** For the Emerging Elite Boys Weight Throw, the first legal throw of each athlete will be measured and recorded. For all throws thereafter, only throws exceeding 47 feet will be measured and recorded. This is because of the very large field in this event and the time constraints of the competition.
