Kent State University’s Danniel Thomas won first place in the 2017 NCAA Division I women’s shot put.
Redshirt senior Thomas nailed the win with a career best — 62-foot 10-inch throw.
Second place went to Louisville senior Emmonnie Henderson with a 58-foot 9.5-inch throw. Third place went to senior Brittany Mann from University of South Carolina with a toss of 57 feet 4.75 inches.
Thomas’ historical throw will go down as the second best ever mark for a college athlete, just short of University of Mississippi’s Raven Saunders throw of 63 feet 5 inches at last year’s championship meet.
