Does this event exist in Kentucky high school track meets? I know that CovCath's Greg Goetz has done it at two meets, one in Tennesee and one in Ohio.

I had some kids do it in those same meets. It isnt in a lot of states and its only done as an exhibition event in those meets. Not enough facilities to have it in most places.

Speaking of uncontested events...I was letting a Middle Schooler practice for the TURBOJAV in the MS State Meet yesterday with some real javelins we had acquired from a local University along with some other equipment. When we were done I let some of the other kids try it and they got pretty frustrated with it...BUT, this one high school boy threw it PERFECT and FAR Every Time! He is an average athlete and only a sophomore but not good enough to have a top spot in any individual event. He was a NATURAL at the Javelin though and our better athletes were SO frustrated...I was loving it! Besides the few meets that hold Turbo Jav where else could he develop this skill in our area? Are there meets over the summer that contest the real Javelin and what would be a good throw for a High School Boy? I looked at some other states but they vary a lot from state to state.

They do contest that event in Jr. Olympics, AAU and USATF. not many state have it on their High school schedule though. Check the ktccca web page for the dates of the JO State meets in June.
