Canadian record-breaking hammer thrower Camryn Rogers can't stop impressing audiences

No wonder Camryn Rogers keeps getting better.

Just days before her 24th birthday on Wednesday, the Richmond, B.C., native continues to build on her record-breaking and promising hammer throwing career — recently adding Jack W. Davies Trophy as Athletics Canada Athlete of the Year to her growing list of honours in May.

The distinction follows a series of impressive results in the last few years. In 2021, she cracked the top five in the women's event at the Tokyo Olympics. In 2022, she struck gold at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, in August, shortly after securing a silver medal at the world championships in Eugene, Ore., in July.

Cut to 2023, Rogers found herself breaking her own Canadian record twice. First, at the Mount San Antonio College relays in Walnut, Calif., in April, setting the mark at 77.84 metres from her previous 77.67 throw at a Collegiate Athletic Association competition last year. Then, to 78.62, at the USA Track & Field (USATF) Los Angeles Grand Prix, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting, in May.

The most recent result moved the Canadian to fifth in the world all-time list. The fact Rogers is the youngest in the top 40, which includes both active and retired athletes, is a huge testament to her potential and promise.

On Tuesday, Rogers will compete in the fifth Irena Szewinska Memorial in Poland, a World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet, in another opportunity to carry on the streak of impressive performances.

While her future accomplishments are obviously still a blank canvas for the up-and-coming hammer throwing star to paint on, Rogers is quick to look at the past and pinpoint where it all started.
