Western Oregon University Wolves

Church threw a NCAA Div. II Outdoor National Championships automatic-qualifying mark in the javelin at the OSU Invitational Saturday.

Church won the women's javelin with a top throw of 155-9 (47.48 meters). The senior's third toss automatically qualifies her for the National Championships from May 22-24 in Raleigh, N.C. The mark is second on the school's all-time list and second currently in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. She beat her personal record by four feet. Church has won both meets she has competed so far this season.
