Camryn Rogers Wins Fifth Straight Women’s Hammer Throw National Title
Rogers threw 76.17 metres to beat Jillian Weir and Jinaye Shomachuk, and she has not lost since June 3, 2025.
On Thursday in Ottawa, Camryn Rogers secured her fifth straight national hammer throw title, delivering a winning throw of 76.17 metres at the Canadian championships.
Rogers dominated the field, beating out Jillian Weir and Jinaye Shomachuk ; the Olympic gold medallist has not lost a competition since June 3, 2025.
Coming off a victory at the Paavo Nurmi Games in Turku, Finland, Rogers surpassed the 80-metre mark for the third time this season before Thursday's championship.
Earlier Thursday, reigning national champion Christopher Morales Williams easily qualified for the men's 400-metre final; the 21-year-old from Vaughan, Ont., finished in 46.05 seconds.
As a two-time world champion and Olympic gold medallist, Rogers maintains premier global status in hammer throw, holding a personal best of 81.13 metres set on April 2.
