Athletes and Parents: Please consider registering your track athlete (thrower) for the Circle of Champions throwing camp June 10-11th. At this camp, your child will learn shotput, discus, and javelin techniques used by throwers competing at the highest level. They will be coached by the best HS and Collegiate coaches in South Dakota. This is a camp for the athletes, but also a camp for spectators interested in learning more about the sport!
Busing to the camp will be provided. Group rate cost for the camp will be sent out later this week. Please let Coach Deffenbaugh know if you are interested, if you've registered, or if you are not able to attend.
