Rider’s Kendra Green from Rancocas Valley is a conference champion in her very first conference meet.
Green bombed a 45-foot throw on her 6th and final attempt at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships Sunday at the Armory.
Green, who came in with a PR of 44-3 ¼ from her last meet, last month at the Armory only had two legal throws Sunday but both were PRs. She threw 44-9 on her 1st attempt, then fouled four times, then hit 45-0 on her final attempt. She won by nearly four feet over Sacred Heart sophomore Susan Adekunie, who threw 41-3 for 2nd place.
Green’s throw is No. 7 in Rider history. And it’s 5th-best by a Burlington County alum, behind Jessica Woodard [62-3 ½], Teyana Ames [52-9 ½], Ronetta Hunter [46-5] and Prisca Blamon [45-8 ¼].
At R.V., Green had a PR of 42-8 ¼, which she threw outdoors at Delsea this past May. She surpassed that with a 43-6 ½ in her 2nd college meet, last month at Ocean Breeze, then improved to 44-3 ¼ earlier this month at the Armory. So she’s now PR’d in three of her six college meets.
