In just her second college meet, freshman Kendra Green from Rancocas Valley moved into the No. 9 spot on the all-time Rider indoor shot put list on Friday.
Green won the shot at the St. Thomas Aquinas Invitational at Ocean Breeze in Staten Island, N.Y., with a lifetime-best throw of 43-6 ½.
Green came into the meet with a PR of 42-8 ½ from at Delsea last spring and an indoor PR of 41-10 ½ from her first college meet, at the Ott Center last month.
But she hit 43-6 ½ on her 1st throw Friday and that held up as the winning throw. She had three other throws over 40 feet and two over 41, including a 41-10 ¼ on her final throw. She finished with the four-best throws of the competition.
Rider’s school record is 48-6 ½ set in 2007 by Wayne Valley graduate Jazmine Fenlator, who became an Olympic bobsledder after college.
