Fred Moudani broke his own UC outdoor shot put record with a throw of 20.03m/65'8.75". This is the third time this season that he has accomplished the feat as he bested his previous mark by almost a full meter (19.35m/63' 6). The Savigny-Le-Temple, France native placed third overall in the event and his throw currently ranks ninth in the nation and third in the NCAA East Region.
Graduate student Nyile Facey turned on the jets at the Penn Relays last week. She broke the UC 400-meter hurdle record with a time of 58.97. Her time would currently qualify her for the NCAA East Preliminary round.
Junior Leonie Troeger bested her own javelin school record (53.43m/175'4"), which is the 19th-best throw in the nation. Her throw currently leads the American and is more than 23 feet further than the next best mark in the conference.
