Leppelmeier Takes 10th on Day Two of NCAA T&F Championships

EUGENE, Oregon- For the second straight year, Kent State's Jackie Leppelmeier earns Second Team All-American honors in the hammer throw, as she finished 10th at the 2016 NCAA National Track and Field Championships at the University of Oregon on Thursday, June 9.

After a heave of 60.45m (198' 4") on her first attempt and foul on second attempt, Leppelmeier found herself in 13th place, needing to finish in the top-nine to advance to the final round. A season-best throw of 61.31m (201' 1") on her third attempt put Leppelmeier in 10th place, just shy of advancing to the final round.
