WOMEN 1st 2nd 3rd TOT Le’Gretta Hinds 3 5 1 9 Jessica Branker 1 5 1 7 Schmidt’s athletic credentials are impressive: three Emily Forsythe 1 1 3 5 Olympic teams, two Olympic Bronze Medals in the javelin Tayyiba Haneef 4 1 0 5 Jacque Norton 1 4 0 5 and a world record in that event (227 feet, 5 inches in Ami Ice 2 1 1 4 1977). But to truly appreciate Kathy Schmidt, you need to Kristy Kierulff 1 0 3 4 know of her “out-in-front” approach to amateur athletics Kirran Moss 1 2 1 4 in the 1970s. Told that European coaches felt that, with Marion Reneau 2 2 0 4 their style of training, Schmidt could throw the javelin Marylou Badillo 1 1 1 3 Ami Goldhammer 2 0 1 3 240-250 feet, she said: “Under their system, they’ve got Carly Harris 0 2 0 2 people who are controlling your whole life.
