Registration for Cloud County Community College's track and field summer throws camp is available now.

The camp will be held Friday, June 26 and Saturday, June 27 with two sets of skill sessions each day. Each session will cover the same activities. The first session each day will last from 8 am to noon, while the afternoon sessions will run from 1 pm to 5 pm.

The camp, open to incoming high school freshmen and above, is designed to help you improve your throwing abilities by improving your technique, speed/power, and workout planning.

Javelin throwers will learn from former T-Bird and 2011 World Youth Champion, Reinhard Van Zyl. Reinhard is a Cloud County graduate who still holds the school's javelin record at 240'4".  After Cloud County, Reinhard attended the University of Missouri, twice qualifying for the NCAA national championships.

Hammer throwers will work with Ryan Hershberger. Originally from Clay Center, Kansas, Hershberger was an All-Big 12 and NCAA All-American shot putter at Kansas State University with a lifetime best of 63'3". Hershberger has coached throwers at Purdue University, Army West Point and UNC Charlotte.

Cloud County assistant track and field coach Erica Brand will teach the shot put and discus. Brand joined the Cloud County coaching staff in the summer of 2021 following a standout collegiate career at Duke University. Brand was an All-ACC athlete for the Blue Devils in both indoor and outdoor track and field while qualifying for the NCAA Division I National Championships multiple times. 

The cost of attendance is $150 for one throw session, $200 for two sessions and $300 for three sessions. To register, participants can fill out the 2026 Cloud County Throws Camp Registration Form.
