Welcome Back!!!


UTES DOMINATE THROWING EVENTS AT BYU

The 2012 season started with a big bang as our veteran throws group had an outstanding day at the BYU Invitational.

In the shot put, Utah claimed the top four spots. Sophomore Destanae Howerton-Davis set a new personal record with a first-place mark of 47-1.25. Nikkie Rudder finished second with a throw of 46-3.50. Candus Aiello (44-5.75) and Alanna Nulph (44-5.75) finished third and fourth, respectively for the Utes.

Rudder won the weight throw competition with a new personal-best mark of 54-11.75. Cynthia Sanchez claimed second overall with a throw of 53-05. Howerton-Davis rounded out the top-three finishers with a mark of 52-10.75.

The opening indoor meet for the rest of our team will be on Jan 27-28 at Boise State. This will give us two weeks out of the holiday break to prepare which is something we've never done before. Hopefully, we will respond well and have everyone healthy by then. I will check in with some practice updates and pictures between now and then. Go Utes!
