Last Friday, Jan. 22 Kent State track and field traveled to the Stile Field House in Akron for the second time this season to face the University of Akron and the University at Buffalo in a tri-meet.
The Flashes had athletes place across many events, but the team’s throwing was very strong.
A trio of Kent sophomores took the top three spots in the women’s weight throw, with Grace Luther taking first with a throw of 54 feet four inches, while Marissa Henley (51’ 09”) finished second and Brianna Wright (50’ 04”) in third.
In the men's weight throw, senior Jack Wickley won the event while also taking the second spot all-time in the Kent State record books with a throw of 72 feet 11 inches.
