The senior laid claim to the throne with some amazing throws this weekend
For the first time since 1997, the Wisconsin Badgers have an individual track and field champion.
Senior Kelsey Card launched a throw of 208 feet, 5 inches to claim the NCAA track & field women’s discus title on Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. She dominated the finals with three throws over 208 feet. Second-place winner Kellion Knibb of Florida State’s best was 201’7,” almost seven feet less than Card’s.
The Plainview, Ill., native became Wisconsin's first NCAA track and field champion in almost twenty years, when Kathy Butler won the 3000 meters during the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Championships.
