Maria Falk and Vanessa Uitenbroek Compete In The Shot Put At Outdoor Nationals

FINAL RESULTS

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -
Carroll's women's track & field team sent two student-athletes to Friday's Shot Put competition on the second day of the NCAA Division-III Outdoor Nationals. Junior Maria Falk and Senior Vanessa Uitenbroek each had three attempts in the prelims, but could not find their way into the top nine athletes that advanced to the finals in the event.

Falk, a junior from Oshkosh, Wis., who was making her second consecutive appearance in the event, finished 14th in the 22-person field. After recording a distance of 13.38m on her second attempt, Falk trumped that by recording a throw of 13.59m (44-07) on her third and final attempt.

Uitenbroek, a senior from Kaukana, Wis., entered the day's competition as the number three seed, and was looking to repeat as an All-American in the event. After recording a distance of 12.75m on her first attempt, Uitenbroek's best toss came on her second attempt, with a distance of 12.75m (41-10).

Uitenbroek will finish her busy weekend on Saturday with her third event in as many days, as she'll compete in the Hammer Throw at 1 p.m. ET in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
