From the Backstretch by Reuben Frank

Rider freshman Kendra Brown from Rancocas Valley bombed a big shot put PR Saturday at the Rick McCorkle Invitational in Ewing.

Brown raised her PR from 45-0 ¼ indoors at the Armory in February to 45-5 on her 3^rd throw at TCNJ. She also had a 45-0 on her 1^st attempt so she recorded two of her three-best throws ever in the span of three throws.

Her throw is 8^th-best in Rider history and best by a freshman since 2017, when Jules Fidele from Red Bank Catholic set a school record that still stands of 49-3 ¾ at the Penn Relays.

Brown’s 45-5 is tops in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference by more than two feet.
