Damon and Kirk Unland, University of Wyoming’s “Throws Bros” as Wyoming Athletics’ Graduate Assistant for Media Relations Nate Lake refers to them, provide unique competition and a support system for each other while competing for UW Track and Field.
The duo hails from Spokane, Washington, where their journey throwing javelin not only against each other but with each other, started.
“It’s pretty chill, honestly,” Damon said. “It’s not like we’re competing against each other, we’re more like rooting for each other. I’m always wanting him to throw well, but then if he does throw well, it’s like, ‘well I guess I gotta throw well, too, because he just did something well.
