The Throws at the Mets

Yesterday proved to be an excellent day for STJ track at the Mets. The team finished first with a total of 158 points to second place finished Fordham with 144. The STJ throwers produced of total of 32 points.

Rachel Williams finished 3rd in the shot put and javelin, 4th in the discus and seventh in the hammer scoring a total of 19 points. Rachel recorded PRs in 3 of her 4 events with 35.31 (115'-10") meters in the discus, 37.97 meters (124'-6") in the hammer, 11.45 meters (37'-6 1/2") in the shot and 31.77 meters (104'-2 3/4")in the Javelin. A strong tail wind in the javelin was probably a deterrent to Rachel in producing one more PR in her final event of the day

Dominique Eason produced 10 points in her events finishing 4th hammer inn the hammer with a throw of 42.92 meters (140'-9 3/4"), 6th in the discus with a season best of 30.81 meters (101'-1")and 7th in the shot with a throw of 10.37 meters (34'-0 3/4").

Priscilla Frederick was a welcome addition to the throws team. Priscilla is STJ's standout high jumper who looks like she has the potentional to be a talented monthly events athlete. Priscilla finished 6th in the shot put with a throw of 10.69 meters (35'-0 3/4") to score 3 points.
