For the first 3 years trophies were provided by Arvids and Max to be awarded
at the end of the season. Eric Malmstrom donated beautiful trophies in 2001
and 2002. Max designed and made the challenge trophy which is awarded to the
holder of the highest accumulated points per season. The challenge trophy
from the Latvian Club is still awarded by Arvids to the athlete with the
highest points in any one meet.
On May 29, 1999 the Ontario Masters Weight Pentathlon was held at Arvids
facilities for the first time and is held there to this day. In the spring
of 2001 Max designed the logo for the throwers club t-shirts.
In the beginning the club had difficulties obtaining accredited field judges
until they were lucky to find Richard Kihn who was the chief
judge until 2005.
In October 2002 Max decided to retire from leadership and Rudy
Boghina and Bill Pearson agreed to manage the club.
