Cougar senior shatters program and meet record in Louisiana
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Track & Field team had a stellar outing at the LSU Twilight, highlighted by a meet and program record-breaking performance from senior Taylor Scaife.
RESULTS
Scaife continues to be a dominating presence for the Cougars in the field, earning her fourth first-place finish in the weight throw this season. The senior surpassed 22.00m (72-2.00) on three of her five attempts, with her best throw coming on her third toss as she earned a mark of 22.89m (75-01.25). Scaife reset the program record in the event after shattering it last season. The toss is the second-best toss among collegians this season and shatters the previous Carl Maddox Fieldhouse record. The senior closes out the regular season as one of 11 women to earn a mark of 22.00m or more this season in the NCAA.
Nora Monie had another fantastic day in the throwing ring as she earned a first-place finish in the Shot Put with a throw of 16.01m (52-08.00) on her fourth attempt. On the men's side, Miles Marhofer earned a second-place finish in the weight throw with a toss of 20.80m (68-03.00).
