How do we develop javelin throwers?

9. We Didn't

No hammer throw either. Both for safety reasons. Those were the only events the IL track teams didn't have at all, as i recall.

I suppose we didn't have every distance race we'd see at the World's or Olympics, but half, one and two mile. So, we would have lacked the 3 mile and 6 mile races that the 5k and 10k would represent.

There was 100, 220, 440, high and intermediate hurdles, although the intermediate hurdles was only a 220 not a 440 back then. And long and high jump, pole vault, discus and shot. But i never saw a javelin until i got to college.
