That throw leads the ASUN by 2.48m currently. In the shot put, Tucker was the fourth-best collegiate finishing with a toss of 15.43m (50'6.25).He leads conference in the shot put by 1.15m.
"Our throwers had an outstanding weekend and were the most successful event group on our team," director of track and field and cross country coach
Andy Eggerth said. "Greta had a monster PR in the shot put and is coming into her own as a thrower. It always happens but never gets boring to watch hard work pay off. The same is true for Fabeon as he's enjoying dominating the conference rankings in both throwing events and our guys are poised to claim 55 of the 62 possible points in the throws at the ASUN Championship."
