Canadian Record for Liz Gleadle in Japan

Congratulations to Liz Gleadle on throwing a Canadian Record 64.83m in her season opening javelin competition at the Seiko Golden Grand Prix in Kawasaki, Japan.

Gleadle threw a national record of 64.83m to edge USA’s Brittany Borman by eight centimetres, and Latvia's Madara Palameika was third at 64.07.

"I was expecting a personal best this season," Gleadle said. "I wasn't expecting such a great series and a personal best so soon."
