seventh. Estee Rogers added a
sixth-place showing in the high jump
with a mark of 4-11 3/4 and Darla
Wilson placed ninth in the pole
vault with a mark of 8-0 1/2.
Bethany Anderson placed fourth in the hammer
invitational with a mark of 160-0
while Amy Hill was fifth in the open
hammer (156-5). Katy Williams placed
ninth and Lindsay Cobey was tenth in
the invitational event. Hill added a
fifth-place finish in ths discus
with a mark of 129-8 while Williams

ninth (111-7). Anderson added a
seventh-place heave of 42-4 3/4 in
the shot put and Hill, Cobey and
Rogers claimed the seventh through
ninth spots in the javelin.
On the men's side, Joe Lahmon was the high-finisher with a
third-place mark of 154-5 in the
javelin while Jason Greenamyer
placed fifth in the event with a
throw of 139-2. Greenamyer added a
fifth-place mark in the long jump
(20-11 1/4) and was seventh in the

State Relays were cancelled due to
snow.
