SEATTLE – Samantha Noennig, William Paulson and Jessica Barreira all won conference titles for the Sun Devils at the final day of the MPSF Championships, Saturday in Seattle.
The sophomore Noennig came into the day leading the conference and the nation in the shot put, and proved she belonged there by claiming the conference crown with a throw of 17.40m/57-1.00 feet.
"Sam Noennig was a little overshadowed last year by Maggie Ewen, but has always been a great athlete," coach Greg Kraft said. "She's leading the nation in shot put and it's difficult to win when you're such a big favorite, but she didn't let the pressure of the moment get to her and took care of business.
