Surrounded on three sides by cornfields, the Launchers
Athletics held its annual
Corn Boil Open on a hot
July 31.
The competition featured four events: shot put, mixed hammer, discus and javelin, in several age categories.
Launchers head coach and village resident Steve
Wohlmuth said ribbons were presented at the end of each event.
Local competitors claimed first-place finishers in several categories, with Kaitlyn Wohlmuth placing first in female javelin and Hantsport’s Grace Bird placing first in discus and second in shot put.
On the men’s side, Alex Rawding placed first in discus and David Bambrick placed first in shot put. Scott Logan placed second in discus and then went on to place third in shot put. Edmund Wohlmuth also placed third in shot put, while Isaac Fuller was third in javelin.
Wolfville’s Jane Warren, who placed second in the mixed hammer category, has been called unstoppable when she participates in the masters shot put, discus, hammer and javelin. This month, she will be aiming at some new hardware when she attends national in Toronto and a second international meet in Vancouver.
Warren captured gold and silver medals previously at the Canadian Masters indoor track and field championships. After her most recent birthday, she has moved up an age category to 60 and over.
