Richard smashed her own school record to win the weight throw at the All-Atlantic Regional Championship meet at Nazareth over the weekend. Her winning throw of 17.97 meters (58' 11 ½") on her fifth toss of the competition was more than a foot past her previous school-record mark. The throw also moved her to 11th on the national list to secure a spot at the NCAA Championships. It is Richard’s third E8 weekly honor of 2023-24.
