BRISTOL, RI (WPRI) â This weekâs Cardiâs Furniture & Mattresses Hometown Sports Hero is Joe Adams.
The Barrington Senior returned from injury to set a new Personal Best of 220â01 in the Hammer Throw at this weekendâs Sgt. Brian St. Germain Invititational, a ten foot increase from his previous PR and one of the best throws in the Nation this Spring.
âHeâs incredible,â said Barrington Throws Coach Robyn McFetters. âHe started, he was Freshman State Champion, it was a great experience. I pretty much knew at that point that he was going to do great things. Heâs super coachable, so I knew right from Freshman year that he was going to be good.â
His success through the seasons earning Adams a scholarship to Princeton University, where he will become the fourth Eagle to throw for the Tigers.
âI want to compete at a very high level, and Princeton was a place that would offer me both incredible athletic and academic opportunities, as well,â Adams said. âAll the people that are there now are some of the most incredible people that I have ever met, and like just that environment seems super uplifting and itâs something Iâm really excited to join into.â
Adams is hoping to keep gaining feet in the Hammer, as he chases the school record. The more distance he gains, the more points he can score for the Eagles who are chasing their second Outdoor State Title in the last three seasons.
âTotally, I mean every single person on our team is a really good competitor and we all love the sport, every Meet weâre pushing each other constantly,â Adams said. âWeâre just excited to keep on pushing forward. States is less than a month away now, so weâre just kind of seeing how things go. And weâre going to keep working hard, keep doing our things, keep having fun and that will pretty much take care of itself.â
