May 17, 2007 THROWING TRIO MOVES UP IN NATIONAL RANKINGS SALEM – With just one final opportunity to improve their marks prior to selections for the NCAA Division III National Championships, Pacific Lutheran track and field athletes Taylor Hacker, Megan Wochnick, and Karin Hatch wanted to throw huge and set season best marks. All three throwers already had achieved the NCAA provisional standard earlier this season. Hacker led the way in the hammer with almost an 11-foot improvement on her previous best throw from this season. Her toss of 163-9 is currently good for 15th in the nation. Megan Wochnick didn’t have the same size improvement but her toss of 162-5 in the hammer was a foot better than her old mark, letting her jump two other throwers in the national rankings to move up to 17th. Freshman Javelin thrower Karen Hatch made the most of her final appearance by improving her previous best mark by over a foot when she threw 132-3. Hatch moved up one spot in the national rankings to 15th. Along with the throwing trio, hurdling ace Faven Araya has also hit the provisional mark for the national meet in the 400-meter hurdles. Faven is currently 11th in the nation. The NCAA Division III national meet is scheduled for May 24-26 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. - PLU -
