STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Sophomore
Hannah Woelfling smashed her PR with the third-best weight throw mark in program history, and
Darian Hauf continued her top performances in the pole vault, winning the event against a deep field of 17 vaulters. Their performances highlighted the efforts of the Millersville's women's track and field team Saturday in the Fastrack National Invitational.
Woelfling hit an NCAA qualifying mark of 57-3 for a third-place finish in the weight throw, finishing behind only a pair of Division I throwers from Albany. Woelfling's toss was more than three feet better than her previous best, and it ranks second in the PSAC this season (behind teammate
Aliyah Striver) and third in program history behind only
Sunflower Greene and Striver. Striver finished right behind Woelfling in the weight throw, hitting 54-5 on her third attempt. She already holds an NCAA qualifying mark. In the shot put, Striver placed fifth, hitting 42-3 on her first attempt.
Hannah Woelfling placed sixth with a distance of 40-0.
Hauf won the pole vault by clearing a height of 11-11 3/4, tying with Kutztown's Alexandra Tama. Those two vaulters own the PSAC's top two marks this season, and Hauf has now finished in first in three of four meets.
