Another great set of performances from the athletes today at the Throws Pentathlon, battling not only their opponents but the very blustery conditions at Monkton. Despite this, there were still some standout performances, particularly from our guest athletes from outside of the region. Of course, our home grown talent also did really well, and at the end of a long day the Stuart Ryan Memorial Shield was presented to Catherine Cotterill (winner in 2025) with a point score of 2327, and David Maggs, who scored 2821 points.
Point tables are shown below, and individual performances can be viewed in greater detail via the Roster Athletics website or the Roster Athletics App. NEMAA positions are shown at the bottom of this page.
