Millville’s Leah Howard PR’d in the javelin at a recent meet in Waco, Texas, throwing 165-1, which ranks 43rd among U.S. women this year and 26th in the NCAA West Region.
That guarantees her a spot in the NCAA West Region Prelims May 27-30 in Fayetteville, Ark.
Howard’s previous PR was a 164-4, also in Waco, in May of 2024. Her 165-1 ranks 8th all-time on the South Jersey Alumni Performance List and is No. 3 in Texas Tech history.
Howard also placed 5th in the Big 12 Championships in Tucson this past weekend with a 157-5 on her 1st throw.
