Kelley makes history at Penn Relays
April 24, 2008
PHILADELPHIA - Junior Candis Kelley became only the second female in TCU history to win the women's shot put title at the Penn Relays on Thursday morning.
Kelley captured the women's shot put title with a throw of 51 feet, 3 ¾ inches. She currently has the seventh best throw in the Midwest region. With the win, Kelley won the first shot put title at the Penn Relays since 1992 and became only the third individual in TCU history to win a shot put title in Philadelphia. "It's an honor to be only the second female in TCU history to win the shot here at Penn. I had a good day overall," said Kelley. Junior Meaghan Peoples opened the Flyin' Frogs day at Franklin Field by clocking an NCAA regional qualifying and seasonal best time of 1:00.56 in the 400-meter hurdles. The Weatherford native, who is now in the top 50 of the NCAA standings, finished second in her heat and fourth overall on Thursday. The women's 4x100 unit of Jessica Clarke, Brittany Blaylock, Kishelle Paul and Virgil Hodge blazed to a first-place finish in heat No. 3 to place fifth overall and advance to Friday's Championship of America final. The unit clocked an NCAA regional qualifying time of 44.34 seconds. TCU will continue action at the Penn Relays tonight with the women's long jump and 4x400-meter relay.
