Will represented Yarrambat Primary School at the Edebone Region Finals (one level below State) last Tuesday, 12th of October. His recount is as follows... I was very nervous, as in my warm up I witnessed another kid throw 30 metres, where my first throw went out of bounds, I went back behind the disc and refocussed thinking of all my good throws previously. First throw I threw 20.47 metres and said to myself “I got game” very pleased with my throw. Next thrower threw 31 metres, I thought ‘he’s good’. Second throw 21.42, allowing me to move up into fourth place. I stayed in this position until my final throw. I gave myself my best ever Lleyton Hewitt fist pump, screaming ‘Come On!’ I stepped into the disc and fired off a 21.86 metre throw. Moving me up into third, one spot away from State Championships and now contemplating taking up Little Athletics.
