Sprints - yea yea - Kenny won and so did Malissa Jefferson-Woodenhttps://www.letsrun.com/news/2025/06/7-thoughts-on-grand-slam-track-philadelphia-melissa-jefferson-wooden-kenny-bednarek-rule-the-sprints-hello-nico-young-more/2.

It is time to ban the Javelin from Track and Field along with the Hammer Throw and for the hell of it, get rid of the discus as well (the all fly too far to be safe at a track event). https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14742983/Girl-died-hit-eye-javelin-PE-lesson-killer-shouted.htmlComments, advice, inquiries merakirunclub@gmail.com
