Track and Field doesn't get a ton of attention but Annette is putting together a really good career in the weight throw event. Just threw for the #2 all time NCAA distance yesterday. The throw also tied her for All time world #3. She's definitely looking like an Olympian.

Annette is now the 3 time conference hammer throw champion. Did it with a new technique this year.
