COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Montana State senior Carley VonHeeder closed out her college track and field career with her showing in the women's javelin at the NCAA West Preliminary Round at Texas A&M's E.B. Cushing Stadium on Thursday.
VonHeeder broke the Bobcat program record in the event and claimed a gold medal at the Big Sky Conference Outdoor Championships nearly two weeks ago in Ogden, Utah. That set her up with a spot in the third flight of the preliminary competition in College Station.
All three of VonHeeder's attempts counted with her best coming on her final throw. Her mark of 143 feet (43.60m) placed her 39th overall. The appearance at the regional meet was her fourth for Montana State.
The NCAA West Preliminary Round continues Friday with four Bobcats in action. Noah Martin participates in the second flight of the men's high jump which start at 12 p.m. MDT. Ethan Saberhagen makes his regionals debut in the second flight of the discus at 12:30 p.m. Both Levi Taylor and Duncan Hamilton compete in the 3,000 steeplechase which is scheduled for 5:10 p.m.
Live results will be available throughout the day's events and are available online here. Streaming coverage begins Friday prior to the steeplechase and is broadcast on SEC Network+. Streaming is available through the ESPN App on smartphones, tablets and streaming devices as well as via ESPN.com. Viewers that have access to SEC Network as part of their cable package will be able to access SEC Network+.
