Stone Mountain Highland Games by Francis Brebner
Eighty thousand spectators witnessed world records and field records tumble this weekend at the Stone Mountain Highland Games, by the hands of young Eric Frasure and Bert Sorin, who are fast making names for themselves in the sport of Highland Games. In the 28-lb. Braemar standing putt, Bert Sorin was in a league of his own with a putt of 39’ 10-1/2” for the win and a new field record, beating Petur Gudmunsson’s (of Iceland) previous record of 39’ 5” set in 2001 at Stone Mountain. In second was Craig Smith at 35’ 10”, and in third was Larry Brock at 35’ 3-1/2”.
The 16-lb. hammer was most interesting as this was the first year it was introduced at Stone Mountain, with Sorin taking yet another win with a throw of 138’ 3” and establishing a field record for the first year. Second was Brock at 133’ 8” and third, Frasure at 131’ 4”.
