WOMEN
Shipp-Davis led the CSUN women with a fifth-place finish in the discus-collegiate A event. She registered a throw of 51.62m (169-4), which was a new personal record and good enough for sixth place in CSUN program history.
In the discus throw-collegiate B event, Amani Britton finished in fifth place as well, registering a throw of 45.39m (148-11). Treasure Brown would also place in the top-10, finishing in 10th with a toss of 42.47m (139-4).
A trio of Matadors also competed in the shot put on Friday. Shipp-Davis paced CSUN with a 12th-place finish with a throw of 13.61m (44-8) while Emily Hutchinson was 18th at 13.10m (42-11.75) and Britton was 20th at 12.95m (42-6).
ACCORDING TO COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"Day one of the Mt. SAC Relays produced some great weather and great performances today. Dillon Peters and Katherine Shipp-Davis led the way today. Katherine threw a lifetime best and is now sixth all-time in CSUN history in the discus. Dillon won the triple jump on his last attempt. I'm very pleased with everyone's performances today. We took a step in the right direction. We have a little bit more work to do tomorrow, but we got off to a great start."
