Another Rice school record in the women's hammer. She won with a 65.53m/215-0 throw. That should put her in a decent position nationally.

Other highlights from the Houston Alumni Invitational:

Men's Discus

1. James Woodley 56.59 meters (185' 8") - moves him to 13th nationally, and 6th on the West qualifying list (also a new meet record)

NOTE: I list the West regional placements because, this season, the NCAA, in its "wisdom", has reduced the qualifiers from top 48 in each region to top 32. I will follow up later with statistics to prove that this maneuver directly and negatively affects those who are not in power conferences.
