Junior Jamie Nunberger placed eighth in the weight throw with a toss of 52 feet, 4.5 inches (15.96 meters) at the SIU McDonald's Invitational, held Feb. 4-5 in Carbondale, Ill.
Nurnberger was the only scorer for the MSU women's team at the meet. Host Southern Illinois won the meet with 138 points.
"Things went pretty well," said first-year coach Dereck Chavis. "Some of our people are showing improvement. I think, at this point, that we are showing consistent progress, and hope that things will pan out at the OVC Championships."
