It has taken me a while to be able to post this…
Yesterday morning I got a call that one of my Athletes, Raine Balshaw, had died in a car accident. It has been a rough 36 hours or so.
Raine was one of my original All American Throwers from when we started our club and threw with us for over 6 years. He would always make me laugh because he would call me “Bro” and I would make him run for it. Raine wasn’t the biggest athlete or the strongest, but he always came out and trained and competed. He was a great teammate and friend to many. He is going to be missed.
Steven Golz and Celeste Balshaw-Golz I am sorry you lost your son. You both did a great job raising him. I love you both.

Raine’s grandparents, Monique and Chris, who witnessed him evolve from a child into a remarkable young adult, are heartbroken by the sudden and untimely loss of their grandchild. The collective sorrow of his family serves as a poignant reminder of the deep and lasting impact Raine had on their lives. His memory will forever be carried in their hearts, a testament to the bright future that was tragically cut short.

As the community mourns this devastating loss, they come together to remember Raine Balshaw, the All-American Thrower who touched the lives of many and will be dearly missed.
