ALLENDALE, Mich.-- The performance of Kara Eck and Jenn Steyer highlighted the efforts of the Trine women's track and field team on the opening day of Grand Valley State University's Al Owens Classic.
Eck (Auburn, Ind. / DeKalb) placed third in the hammer throw with a toss of 165 feet, 5 inches. Her performance was the best by a NCAA Division III student-athlete in the meet and placed ahead of several performers from higher divisions.
Jenn Steyer (Fenton, Mich. / Lake Fenton) added a strong effort of her own to finish second among Division III performers and ninth overall in the hammer throw. Steyer came away with a throw of 152 feet, 2 inches, more than 12 feet better than the next-best effort from a Division III performer.
