THE JERRY EVERETT MEMORIAL TROPHY  

AND

2010 PANTHER THROWS FEST

GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY 

   On Saturday 10th July 2010, at Northgate Sports Centre Ipswich, an elite group of athletes took part in a series of special events. First the leading throwers of Orwell Panthers competed in a three event throws fest of Discus, Shot and Javelin. Athletes of various ages threw under strict competition conditions and achieved some excellent results. Despite the searing heat of the morning, the athletes finished looking forward to a date in the future when the Club might host a Jumps and/or a Sprints Fest. 

During the morning, another small group of athletes went through a training programme of jumps, throws, running and agility events, led by some excellent coaches. 

In the lunch break athletes were joined by parents, coaches, officials and friends of the late Jerry Everett to walk around the track in memory of a man who through kindness, enthusiasm and dedication left an impression on all with whom he had contact. As Jerry had been a prodigious walker, the walk around the track was a fitting tribute.

The afternoon saw all the athletes competing in the latest form of athletics competition known as "Quad Kids". The group made up of Panthers and younger local athletes in years 5 and 6, ran 60 metres,  competed in Standing Long Jump, Vortex Ball throw, and ran 400 metres. Whilst the scores were completed, the athletes took part in some "fun" relays. This may have been the first time this type of event had been held in our area, using an adapted scoring system. The competition is intended to be a fast and furious team competition and indeed it was.

The results are as follows:
