It looks like Cal Men's Tennis season is over. The team never played since late January with no announcements on social media. They are not in the Pac-12 championship field/bracket this weekend.

Well, I read the whole thing and did not "race" through it. Content that I usually don't focus too much on but glad I took it in.

For those interested (like me) Camryn's Road to the Olympics will depend on how she does in the Canadian T+F National trials which are scheduled June 25-28 in Montreal.

Thanks, I had included this info in some of the earlier posts on Camryn Rogers (probably the one about her 6th place finish in the indoor track hammer throw -- I still don't appreciate the differences in techniques between the two).

Just went down a couple of wiki links - indoors it is a "weight throw" and not a "hammer throw" - and is NOT recognized by the IAAF.

The object being thrown has a very short handle attached directly to the weight

Here's the hammer (8.8 pounds)
