Randall Bradley of the Belle Fourche Post & Bee reports that Steve Tanska of Belle Fourche placed fifth in the world in stone throwing at the Wyoming Celtic Festival in Gillette June 28.

He was in the Masters division (over 40) 50-year old/under 200 lbs. in the Open Stone throwing. He tossed the 16-pound stone a distance of 32-feet 7-inches.”

Tanska also competes in weight for distance, and caber toss.

Tanska said,

I’m working on the caber toss (log throw) and weight for distance, but found my event in the open stone throw. It is like the shot put, but with a couple different ways of throwing the stone.
