Armory Track Invitational (NY) Results
Mixed in with the collegiate and professional action at the Armory this weekend were junior competitions in the weight throw. Eric Sheng (Syosset, NY) and Alva Hicks (Classical, Providence, RI). After a personal best from Monae Cooper (New Rochelle, NY), Hicks led narrowly throughout the competition before a big throw on her final attempt expanded the lead and closed in on her personal best. Sheng led from start to finish but again in the finals his competition narrowed the gap as Xavier Tyler (New Rochelle, NY) added six feet to his personal best for second place.
