Service: August 12th at 3pm, Covenant Worship Center, 2622 San Pablo Ave., Berkeley CA

Known throughout the USATF, college, high school and youth circuit as a throws coach who cares, it was a sad day in history when it was discovered that Mike Hammerquist’s spirit had fled this earth on Tuesday, July 18.  While his earthly body may no longer be present with us at track & field meets, the many memories of a man who cared deeply for each and every athlete he trained will stay with us for many years to come.  

As a die-hard 3M Track Club coach, Mike not only serviced the throws coach needs for his own club but he kindly spread his wealth of throwing knowledge to any youth athlete in need.  As an active contributor to the Pacific Association (PA), USATF for nearly 3 decades he still found time to train at local high schools in our area.  Although his health was dramatically deteriorating in the last year, he still found the inner strength to continue in his is most recent coaching stint was at Berkeley High School through the 2017 season.

Mike also fulfilled roles on the PA youth Board of Athletics as the first ever Treasurer and then our Field Chairperson for several years.  Mike contributed in so many ways it will be impossible to remember them all.  We ask that you consider replying with a Mike story of your own.  How did he touch your world?

In sport,

Joanne Camargo, Pacific Association Past Youth Chair
