Athletes come from all over the country to compete and learn from one another. Author: Amanda Eustice (WNEP) Updated: 7:37 PM EDT July 16, 2021
EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. They call it PR City because, at American JavFest on the campus of East Stroudsburg High School South, dozens of competitive javelin athletes take to the runway to try to beat their own records.
But PR doesn t only stand for personal record; it also has to do with public relations, spreading the word about all the sport has to offer. It s an appreciation of everything javelin. Usually, we have a clinic alongside this where kids get to learn a little bit from some high-level coaches, but this year because of COVID, we didn t know where we were going to be at. We had limited time to plan so, it s just about the competition, said Barry Krammes, the meet director for JavFest.
