The first ever Morton Games women's hammer competition, generously sponsored by Friends of Irish Throwers, has attracted an eye-catching field for the July 10 meet. The lead entry is the Olympic champion Camryn Rogers of Canada who will look to break the existing Stadium record of 73.21 . With a PB of an extraordinary 81.13 who would bet against Paris gold medallist and twice world champion.

Other top entries include Ireland's record holder and four-time national champion Nicola Tuthill with a PB of 72.48. Tuthill enjoyed a stellar 2025 when she brought silver medals home from both the World University Championships and the European U/23 Championships. Norway's Beatrice Llano is a top-class athlete and a 9 time national champion and was the 2016 U/20 world champion and 2017 European U/23 bronze medallist. She comes with a PB of 73.08.

Charlotte Payne (GBR) has a 72.51 PB, the 2023 European U/23 medallist is a 3 times British champion.
