NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State Track & Field completed day one of competition at the 2023 MVC Outdoor Championships, as Zofia LeHew ended the day on a high note with the title of MVC Champion.
LeHew closed night one out on a high note, as she won the women's javelin with a personal best mark of 48.82m (160-02), the second furthest mark in school history. This comes only one year after LeHew finished fourth in last year's MVC Outdoor Championships.
She is also the first female student-athlete from Illinois State to win the javelin since 2012, when Leigh Petranoff won her fourth straight outdoor event title (2009-2012).
