Vashon wins…again

While controversy continues to rage about his participation at this year’s ISSA/Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championships, Vashon McCarthy (Ascot High School) won his pet event (Shot Put U20) at the Queens Grace Jackson Meet January 25, 2013 at the National Stadium.

While controversy continues to rage about his participation at this year’s ISSA/Grace Kennedy Boys and Girls Championships, Vashon McCarthy (Ascot High School) won his pet event (Shot Put U20) at the Queens Grace Jackson Meet January 25, 2013 at the National Stadium.

Derrick Pitt of KC gave him something to think about with a Put of 15.44m, it was not enough to overhaul Vashon’s Put of 15.84m. Everyone else was a meter or more behind.

The first year Class One athlete is showing that he will be a force to be reckoned with at ‘Champs’ as he continues to show steady progress and consistency.

Well I guess this proves that although principal Murray hasn’t seen Vashon at the school training, he (Vashon) is actually training.

I wait with bated breath for the outcome of the Ascot school board meeting on the subject of Vashon going to Champs. Personally, I just think the meeting is a way of allowing principal Murray to backpedal on his initial statement, but frankly, as long as it allows Vashon to throw at Champs, so be it.
