EUGENE, OR – Kayla Thorpe wrapped up her stellar senior campaign at NCAA Championships at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon by setting a new personal best and breaking her own school record for the third time this season.
 
Thorpe threw 53.44m on her third attempt, which put her in ninth place for the event out of 24 participants and earning her 2nd Team All-American honors. This is the fourth straight week that Thorpe has surpassed the 50-meter mark, after she became the first female javelin thrower in school history to do so earlier this season. It is also the first time that Thorpe has surpassed 52 meters in her career. 
 
The senior from Upper Darby, PA wraps up her Maryland career holding the women's javelin record and has broken her own school record multiple times this season before the championships, and one last time in her final collegiate event. She also was the bronze medalist at Big Ten Outdoor Championships in May.
