One of the meets that I really missed announcing and shooting this year was the @tucsoneliteclassic held at Drachman Stadium. @arizonatrack hosts this annual meet and @arizonathrows does a great job putting together perhaps one of the best domestic throws competition in the USA, with some backing from @usatf and @mfathletic.

The sports science folks from USATF comes out to the meet to film the throwers, and provides them and their coaches some excellent feedback.

:
One of the highlights of the meet (in my humble opinion) is the barbecue on the rest day that @kissofsmokebbq caters for the athletes!

Here’s some shots that I took between announcing the meet. Here’s to the return of the meet in 2021!
