The Citizen, 2007-04-19, Page 21THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 2007. PAGE 21. Hugh and Betty Millar accepted an invitation from their son, Randy, to travel with him to Chicago, Illinois on the Easter weekend. Grandson Brad Millar is a freshman at De Paul University in Chicago attending on a sports scholarship. On the Easter weekend Brad was competing for his school in a track meet, the Chicagoland Championships. In the 16-pound hammer throw Brad threw 55 metres for first place and a personal best. He also placed first in the 800-gram javelin throw with a toss of 54.72 metres, six metres better than second place. Two weeks previously at Southern Illinois University, Brad threw the javelin 54.74 metres breaking the De Paul record of 53.72 that had stood since 1950. There were several schools competing at this track meet and De Paul was the overall winner. Despite very cold weather, the Millars cheered from the sidelines for many of the events and also did some sightseeing.
