Javelin

Head Coach Dave Koreker was incredibly pleased with the way his team performed, "We had a number of good performances at ESU on Thursday including, Jordan Lowrie, after only 2 practices, cleared 5'3" in her first meet and placed 2nd. Lillie Veer had the best javelin throw so far in the KCAC with a throw of 120' 2" after only 3 practices."
