Netters:
Normally a 223-5 HS JT would be nothing special, but there were two facts about
today';s tosds by Rob Smith of Hopatcong, NJ, that made it
interesting:
1) It
was by far the best javelin toss by a boy in NJ since we were forced to adapt a
rubber-tipped javelin sone years ago,. While our girls have had little trouble
with the rubber-tipped implements, the boys have had a hard time getting past
200 feet.
2)
Smith;s coach is Mike Juskus, who a generation ago was one of the nation's top
throwers, even though he had never touhed a javelin until he got to Glassboro
State (now Rowan).
