Palmer claims second straight discus throw win

PUEBLO, Colo.— Colorado Mesa University's Christina Palmer won the discus throw for the second straight day, recording a mark of 46.76 meters (153 feet, 5 inches) for the second straight day as well to continue her consistent form at Saturday's CSU Pueblo Last Chance Meet.

Her mark matched her winning, improved NCAA Division II Championship provisional qualifying and career-best throw from Friday's Air Force Twilight Open to the exact centimeter.  She bested the field of seven Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference throwers with the effort and recorded that effort on her fourth of six Saturday attempts.

The Carlos, Minnesota native continues to sit 24th on the national season-long performance list as of Saturday evening with more than a week to go in the national qualification meet.

Teammate Heather Yackey, who continues to hold the CMU school record of 46.77 meters (153-6) by just a single centimeter competed on Saturday, finishing third with a effort of 46.34 meters (152-0).

They were the only two Mavericks competing in the meet.

CMU plans to send a larger contingent to another last chance meet next week in Azusa, California.
