Subject: Hammer Throwing
US Hammer Throwing
Harold Connolly
In 2002, after retiring as Director of US Programs for Special
Olympics, I made a decision to devote my 23 years of hammer throwing
competitive experience and subsequent 26 years of hammer throw coaching
toward establishing a strategy to motivate and help American boys and
girls attain the victory stand in the hammer throw at the 2012 or 2016
Olympic Games. In the year of the 2012 Olympic Games, I’ll be 81 years
old.
My personal goal is to attend the Olympic Games when a boy or girl I
assisted wins an Olympic hammer throwing medal. This is a major factor
that keeps me committed to my training, followed faithfully if not as
vigorously as throughout my own Olympic career. In this regard my role
model and good friend is the oldest Olympic gold medalist thrower,
Wilbur Moose Thompson (London Olympic Games 1948, shot-put) now 88
years young and still coaching.
It’s the general consensus among the most successful hammer throw
coaches that it takes 8 -12 years for a hammer thrower to attain
Olympic victory stand status. By 2012 – 2016, my passionate hammer
throw quest will have covered 10 – 14 years. Will the ebbing decline
of American top level hammer throwing have turned by then and potential
American Olympic hammer throw medalists have emerged? In 2016, I’ll be
85, and I want to be in the Olympic Stadium to witness the positive
results I confidently expect.
In September, I received a message from a man I coached in college with
his pledge to match contributions made to the 2009 USATF Youth Hammer
Throw Fundraiser up to $5,000. He said that he wanted to support our
efforts to advance continued youth participation in hammer throwing,
the event that positively influenced the course of his life.
To continue disseminating authoritative hammer throw coaching
information across the country and to add a donation incentive to the
2009 USATF Youth Hammer Throw Fundraiser, I recently completed the two
most effective Hammer Throw Technique and Coaching Instructional DVDs I
have ever put together:
Hammer Throw Training, 3 Turn – 4 Turn (3.68 GB)
Youth Hammer Throwing, A and B (2.70 GB)
After reading this appeal, I hope you will open and use the donation
form and/or log on to: www.hammerthrow.com/grants/
There you will find detailed descriptions of:
Training and Coaching DVDs;
USATF Youth Hammer Throw Development Project;
USATF Youth Hammer Throw Grants Program;
2009 Training Grant Application Form; and
How You Can Support American Youth Hammer Throwing.

► Youth Cross Country: Christine Bayliss – One to Watch!
Youth Cross Country: Christine Bayliss – One to Watch!By Bob Burns David and Jennifer Bayliss go to great lengths to make sure track and field is an enjoyable experience for their 12-year-old daughter, Christine. Before they head off to a big race, her parents try to arrange a get-together with her competitors beforehand. When they traveled to last summer’s USATF National Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships in Virginia, the Bayliss family spent a couple of days visiting the historical sites in Washington D.C. “It’s important to remember that these are young kids,” David Bayliss said. “We’ve got to make it fun for them.” Winning is also fun, and Christine handles that part of the equation. She won her first national championship in July when she raced to victory in the midget girls 3,000 meters at the Junior Olympic Track and Field Championships in Greensboro, N.C. Her winning time of 10:23.56 set a Pacific Association age-group record. Her accomplishments are even more remarkable when measured against her training load. David, a former professional biathlete, and Jennifer, the school record holder in the 3,000 meters and an All-American performer at Montana State in mid-1990s, are vigilant against early burnout. “I have the ‘less is more’ philosophy,” David Bayliss said. “Christine may have had one week in which she put in 20 miles. Her weekly average is more like 10 to 12 miles. This is about having fun and giving her an opportunity.” Christine lives in Danville with her parents and three siblings. A seventh-grader at Charlotte Wood Middle School, she competes in St. Joan of Arc CYO events during the school year and runs for the Roseville Express in USATF meets. Four years ago, her parents signed her up, along with older sister Allison, for the local CYO program. “At first, I didn’t like it that much, but as the years went on my friends joined, it became more fun,” Christine said. “I think it’s really fun to travel. I’d like to see more places.” Her first exposure to national-class competition came in 2006, when she finished eighth at the Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships in Spokane, Wash. She skipped cross country nationals in 2007 but placed fifth in the midget division at last fall’s event in Mechanicsville, Va. Bayliss finished just five seconds behind the winner, Paige Rice. The next two national meets are much closer to home. The Junior Olympic Cross Country Championships will be held Dec. 12 in Reno, and the JO Track Championships are set for July 27-Aug. 1 in Sacramento. Bayliss will compete in the midget class (11-12) at the upcoming cross country nationals. “I’m definitely looking forward to compete at the JOs in Reno with my friends,” she said. “I hope to take first place.” Bayliss won the 3,000 meters at this year’s track nationals by more than five seconds, defeating two of the runners who had finished ahead of her at the 2008 cross country nationals. Bayliss also holds the Pacific Association record for midget girls in the 1,500 meters at 4:50.24. “Christine has the potential to be another Jordan Hasay,” said Jennifer Allred-Powless, the American River College track and cross country coach who assists the Roseville Express distance runners. “Her dad is really educating himself about the sport, and she’ll reap the benefits from that.” David Bayliss was an all-state performer in cross country in Connecticut prior to attending Stanford University. He resumed his running career after graduating and served as a volunteer assistant coach at Palo Alto. Jennifer placed third in the 3,000 meters at the 1993 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships. “I think I got a little bit of this (talent) from my parents,” Christine Bayliss said. “Sometimes I run like my mom.” David, a business development manager for a construction company, coaches his daughter in CYO track. The team practices just three times a week, and one of those practices is a “fun” day, featuring maybe the high jump or relay races. Christine, who also plays competitive soccer, sounds as if she’s getting the hang of racing. “I’m learning how to be less nervous as I get more experienced,” she said. “I think it’s OK to be a little nervous, but remember it’s fun. It’s not that big of a deal. Just try your best.” Her parents came up with the idea of arranging informal gatherings with other national-class runners before the big meet. Christine became friends with Paige Rice, the Portland (Ore.) standout, when they met prior to the JOs in Spokane. “We’re trying to make this a social, fun experience and introduce the team to other kids from around the country who are experiencing the same thing.” David Bayliss said. “We want to show them that track is a great community sport.”

Maggie Vessey races to a Thrilling Come-from-Behind 2nd in the 800m
Anna Willard makes it four out of four 800m victories this year, chased by team-mate Maggie VesseyAnna Willard makes it four out of four 800m victories this year, chased by team-mate Maggie Vessey
Anna Willard’s late season momentum continued here today with her confident victory in the women’s 800m.
The 25-year-old, who began the season as the No. 2 American steeplechaser, ended it as one of the world’s best 800m runners when she capped her breakout middle distance season with a 2:00.20 victory.
200 metres into the race, Willard tucked in behind leader Elisa Cusma and remained in second until taking the lead off the final turn. Striding on confidently, she was never really challenged to add yet another impressive victory to her 800m resume.
“I started well and ran fast for the first 200 metres to avoid getting pushed,” said Willard, who collected victories over the distance in New York, Paris, and Brussels. After a season in which she also joined the sub-four minute club in the 1500m with her 3:59.38 in Zurich two weeks ago and finished a solid fifth at the World Championships over the distance, Willard has admitted to taking a liking to the shorter distances.
“I prefer the 800,” Willard said, “but I also like the steeplechase.” For now, her plans are to continue competing in both along with the 1500m. Some more off-season reflection may change her mind.
Until tonight, no American woman has ever won a middle distance title at the World Athletics Final. Here, along with Maggie Vessey, Willard led a U.S. 1-2.
Maggie Vessey, the Eugene and Monaco winner this season, moved from seventh to second over the final 80 metres, reaching the line in 2:00.31 to edge Briton Jenny Meadows, the Berlin bronze medallist, by 0.10. Russian Mariya Savinova (2:00.72), the European indoor champion, also overtook Cusma (2:00.84) to finish fourth.

A year ago, Nancy Langat didn’t produce a victory until she crossed the line first at the Olympic Games. This year, the 28-year-old Kenyan apparently saved the best for last as she collected her first win of the season in the final edition of the World Athletics Final.
“To be honest, I didn’t expect to win,” said Langat, who took advantage of the sluggish pace to collect her first win in eight outings over the distance. “The race had a very slow tempo which was an advantage for me.”
Dawdling paces were the order of the day in the first two middle or long distance events on the programme, and that trend continued in the women’s 1500m. With no one forcing the pace or making a move, the tightly wound pack took more than 73 seconds to cover the first lap, and nearly 75 to cover the second.
Ethiopian Geleta Burka, who was famously knocked to the ground and out of contention in the World Championships final, made the first move when she jumped to the lead about 900 metres into the race, taking the bell in 3:14.85. But she didn’t really manage to break away from anyone, with World champion Maryam Jamal of Bahrain shadowing her closely and Russian Anna Alminova just another step behind.
Burka still led midway through the final turn, but with plenty in reserve, others positioned themselves to stake their claims for the podium.
Finishing strongest was the Olympic champion who passed by the Ethiopian on the inside to reach the line unchallenged in 4:13.63. With much of the field running in lanes two, three and four, Briton Hannah England found an opening on the inside to finish a surprise second (4:14.05), just edging American Christin Wurth-Thomas. It was certainly the highest profile finish for the 22-year-old England, who improved to 4:04.29 this season.
Meanwhile, Jamal, who came to Thessaloniki with four straight WAF titles under her belt, faded to fourth in 4:14.12, with American Shannon Rowbury, the Berlin bronze medallist fifth (4:14.18).
