Cowley conducts first ever Throws Camp

Helping beginning as well as experienced throwers to learn to throw safely and efficiently using technique drills and event specific drills, two-time NJCAA national champion and current Cowley College track and field assistant coach, Courtney Gougler, is working with individuals at the Cowley Throws Camp held Thursday through Saturday in Arkansas City.

Gougler, who went on to compete at the University of Wyoming and then on to Oklahoma State University, is working to make the camp participants faster and stronger, thus giving them the ability to throw farther.
During her first season as throws coach at Cowley, Gougler helped Charles James earn a pair of top-five national finishes at the NJCAA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships.

Throws camp participants pictured are, Adeline Drummond, Jaren Custar, Gage White, Bridgette Powers, Hannah Hardin, Courtney Gougler, John Custar, Edric White, Eric Sheets, and Sarah Hardin.
