The Dragonfly and the Hammer

Camryn Rogers is an incoming junior at UC Berkeley and a hammer throw powerhouse who made Cal Athletics history at the 2019 NCAA Championships. Rogers' 71.50-meter throw was the seventh-best in NCAA history and the Golden Bears' first women's hammer throw title of all time. Watch this Olympic hopeful tear up the field at Edwards Stadium where she trains four times a week.

World champ! Congrats.

It is so nice that athletes get this kind of exposure. In my day, we toiled in total obscurity, where no one except us athletes and the coaches had the remotest clue of the effort that went into being an elite athlete. If we had had this kind of public exposure, I think the support would have been so much greater. Well done!!!
