LYNCHBURG, Va. – Liberty's Ethan Mylin and Addilae Watts got the Dennis Craddock Coaches Classic off to a strong start on a damp Friday at Dr. Jack M. Toms Track, sweeping the men's and women's javelin titles.
Women's Day 1 Recap
Watts' first victory of the season came in dominating fashion. The junior's season-best 160-1 javelin effort in round two far outdistanced runner-up Katya Hoover of Shenandoah (113-8).
Freshman Grace Chelberg slashed 12 seconds off her 1,500 personal best to claim runner-up honors in 4:57.06. Teammate Samantha Troup was close behind in fourth place, posting a season-best 4:58.26.
The Lady Flames finished 3-4-5-6-7 in one of the evening's featured events, the inaugural Frank Csorba Invitational Mile.
