POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Beginning of Year 3 for me, and Ring Weekend for these 5 incredible Firsties! Beyond grateful for the time I’ve had with them at West Point, and thankful we still have the year together! Charlie, Jordan, CJ, Elijah, and Claire are not only well accomplished throwers and invaluable teammates, but they are proven leaders of character that we are so fortunate to have in our Army.

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.” - Amelia Earhart

As of this morning, I am verbally committed to throw for USMA West Point!

With the conclusion of SLE 2026, I’m confident that I’ve found my home. West Point is one of one, and family means something here.

This is only possible through my savior who, through his redemption, paid the price for me to live and pursue my dreams. Praise Jesus!

I can’t quite describe how thankful I am for every coach, every teammate, every friend, and my family who have brought me so much support throughout my career so far. I love and appreciate you all!

Culture wins

Beat the hell out of navy

Army Throws ‘31

Wearing the Army jersey has been the greatest honor of my life. Only those who wear it can fully understand how heavy the jersey really is.

It’s difficult to put into words what this team has meant to me, and ultimately what throwing has done for me. From @coach_cusick taking a shot on me freshman year, to @coach_hershberger developing me into an Army Thrower, and to @coachwoodbury_westpoint ultimately forging me into the best version of myself holistically, I’m forever grateful for these people (and teammates) for investing their own time into helping me figure out who I am.

Maybe at the end of the day, throwing a ball far wasn’t all about the medals, the championships, the results, the distances. Maybe, it was about the people who along the way taught me life lessons that I will hold onto for the rest of my life.

Thank you Army Throws, CBA Throws, and all who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. It’s been an honor to share the ring with you.

Cheers.

For the first time in 28 years…the Army West Point women go BACK TO BACK as Patriot League Champions! Our women’s throws group had a vote in the outcome with 9 Q’s to finals, 39 points, a meet record, and 3 medals🥇🥇🥈 to help win the meet by a total of 4.25 points…It took everybody in a phenomenal team effort across genders. Our men scored 36 points with 7 Q’s, and 2 medals 🥇🥈to help the men’s team to a runner-up finish.

I couldn’t be more proud of Army Throws, our Track & Field program, and our coaching staff! Honored to be here and help bring another championship to the world’s greatest leadership academy.

Thank you so much to @coachwoodbury_westpoint for having me on an unofficial visit to West Point today! This was so incredibly inspirational for me. The team here is such an amazing group of people and the facility itself is truly one of a kind. I’m so grateful that I got to spend the day learning so much more about West Point and seeing how incredible it is!

UCL reconstruction complete!

So thankful for everyone that has supported me in and out of this first picture. Couldn’t ask for a better family. Love all you guys.

This injury is often a heartbreak for many throwers like myself, and I won’t pretend for a second that hearing the news wasn’t heartbreaking. But what this has also taught me is that my love for this sport was never about my ability to throw. It’s about every single one of my teammates past and present. These people are what make me get out of bed every day. Whether it’s helping each other with technique, something personal, or just goofing around with them, that bond and the memories we make is what it’s about. @armythrows is one of the most special groups in the world because I can confidently say that I would die for every single person in this group, and I know they’d say the same for me.

Something else I learned is the fact that life ebbs and flows @robby.manse , and there’s pretty much nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately, you don’t really get to control 90% of what happens in your life. You can boil down what you can control in your life to two things: your effort and your attitude. That’s it. One of the beautiful things about an ebb, is that it’s always accompanied by a flow.

Sappiness aside, this injury is a beautiful opportunity to reset from step zero. And I can’t wait to get after it, the right way. I cannot wait to respond to this, and become the best version of myself as a thrower and man. Not for me, but for those around me. See you next year. NDY ✌️

Army West Point Track & Field Awards Night!

So proud of our group and everything they have accomplished. At 28 throwers, we must be one of, if not the largest, Division I Throws group in the country. None of it would be possible without our Firsties/Seniors Robby Manse, Jacob Bowersock, Sara Sahadi, and Kiana Emerson leading the way.

Robby Manse and Jordan Hecht won Men’s and Women’s Team MVP based on points scored throughout the season. The productivity, availability, and competitive excellence they have shown across multiple throwing events is extremely rare in our sport today. It reflects our team first culture and emphasizes how selfless and unselfish they are to do what’s necessary for the team to win instead of specializing or chasing individual accolades. The work is not finished with the Patriot League Championship and NCAA’s in the coming weeks. I can’t wait to see what we continue to accomplish together.

Go Army! 🫡🇺🇸

CDT Collin Torres is your 2026 Penn Relays Champion in the Men’s Javelin with a throw of 67.77m (222’4”)! Couldn’t be more proud of him and his journey to this point. Bringing a second gold watch back to West Point is another unbelievable team accomplishment for @armythrows.

Go Army! 🫡🇺🇸
