M. Track Beats Yale; Women Win H-Y-P Meet

Fuller just misses record as men win all but two track events; Women dominate in the field

Grant’s focus on the team cannot obscure her own extraordinary performances. She again won both the shot put and the weight throw.

However, she was not satisfied with her performance of 18.35 meters in the weight.

“My shot put was okay,” Grant said. “The weight throw, however, is a little disappointing. I won’t be happy until I’m over 19 [meters].”

Grant’s personal best of 18.90 meters ranks her 17th on the most recent national performance list. She will likely need to throw over 19 meters to qualify for the NCAA championships.

She is looking forward to this week’s meet, as it will bring throwers that will push her more.

“It’s easier to throw longer distances if you have someone competing with you, pushing you,” Grant said.

Junior Helena Ronner was another two-event winner, as she continued to excel in the long jump and triple jump.

“My distances seem to be getting better every week, so they’ll hopefully be ready for Heps,” Ronner said.

The women look toward the USATF Invitational this weekend as their last tune-up before Heps.

“I think we’ll be ready for Heps,” Grant said. “We came into this meet as underdogs, and I think we showed what we can do as a team.”
