Rowan junior Ava Reardon from Delsea recorded the No. 12 javelin throw in NCAA Division 3 Thursday evening, and Profs teammate Diamond Eaddy of Salem wasn’t far behind.
Reardon threw 138-11 at the Virginia Challenge at Lannigan Field in Charlottesville, Ca.
That’s her best throw as a Rowan athlete. She threw 139-2 last April as a Georgian Court sophomore in a meet in Ewing and she went on to win the Coastal Athletic Conference title with a 131-11 in Lakewood.
On Thursday, Reardon opened with a 134-8 before hitting 138-11 and then 129-10.
Eaddy, a senior from Salem, threw 135-5 on her 1st attempt. Eaddy, a transfer from Lincoln, had a previous PR of 130-7 from a meet last April at Widener University in Chester. Her throw is No. 16 in NCAA Division 3.
Reardon and Eaddy are now No. 1 and 2 in the NJAC this spring, bumping a PR 132-7 by Stockton’s Josephine Buxton from Absegami from a home meet last month.
