Barrington girl wins Estonian youth championship
BHS student tops the rest of the field in hammer throw
Annika Kelly, who recently completed a stellar freshman campaign as a weight thrower for Barrington High School, traveled to Estonia to visit her grandparents this summer.
While there, Annika decided to participate in the Estonia Youth Athletics Championships in Rakvere Stadium in Rakvere.
Throwing in a field of 13 athletes, Annika had the winning throw in the 3K hammer — recording a distance of 171 feet, 3 inches. Her throw was also a new Estonian record for that age group.
Barrington High School throwing coach Bob Gourley notes "Interestingly, Annika’s throw would have also won the older U18 event which had a winning distance of 47.33m (155 feet, 3 inches)."
