NCAA Championships: Riley Dominates Again
 If you thought it was impressive when Brittany Riley (Southern Illinois) (pictured to the right; photo by Kirby Lee) won by nearly ten feet at last year's NCAA Indoor Championships, you should have seen today's competition. Riley led from start to finish and entering the final round, she had an amazing twelve foot lead. She finished the competition with a best toss of 25.34m (83-01.75). That throw is a one-meter season best and was within a foot of the world record she set at last year's NCAA championships.
The battle for second place, however, was very close. Entering the final round, Jessica Pressley (Arizona State) led Astin Steward by just four inches. Pressley had many personal bests in the competition and improved in the final round to throw 22.04m (72-03.75). Despite the foul trouble, Veronica Jatsek (Ohio State) was the fourth athlete to break 70 feet at the meet.
