The Empire Throwing Club, along with other organizations and AD's around the Northeast U.S. saw a need to provide accurate, up-to-date recognition of our Junior class competitors' achievements. This page serves as a current and historical record of the top throws by NYS junior class athletes (14-17 years old).
More info on our policies around junior highland games classes can be found in this document.
