Rancocas Valley graduate Danielle Steff, a junior at Monmouth, threw 151-5 in her first javelin competition in two years.
Steff competed Saturday at a Monmouth-Army dual meet at Shea Stadium in West Point, N.Y.
Her mark is No. 16 in NCAA Division 1 so far this outdoor season and No. 1 in the Metro Atlantic Conference.

At Army, Steff also threw the discus a personal-best 130-7 and the shot 37-7 1/4. She has a shot PR of 39-11 1/4 from a meet at Navy in January of 2020. She had never thrown the discus before in a college meet. She had a high school PR of 99-5 from a meet in 2016 at Lenape. Her shot put mark is No. 3 currently in the Metro Atlantic.
Steff had a high school best of 139-0 in the javelin, No. 17 in South Jersey history going into this spring season.
