Ohio State's Adelaide Aquilla Wins National Title in Shot Put at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships

Adelaide Aquilla left no doubt about who the best shot putter in NCAA women's track and field was this year.

After already winning the indoor national championship in the shot put earlier this year, Aquilla made it a sweep on Thursday night, when she took gold at the NCAA outdoor track and field championships with a first-place throw of 62 feet, 3 1/4 inches.

WOW! ADELAIDE AQUILLA IS THE NCAA CHAMPION IN THE SHOT PUT! She threw 59-7 1/2 on her fifth throw to take the lead and then 62-3 1/4 on her last throw to regain the lead from Josie Schaefer from Wisconsin.
