BATON ROUGE – Northwestern State sophomore Trecey Rew won the women’s shot put in a 49-6 1/2 throw Saturday at the LSU Tiger Relays track and field meet.
Rew’s mark easily enhanced her regional qualifying status and outdistanced the field by more than four feet. It was less than three inches shy of her personal best, set when she won the Southland Conference Indoor title in 49-9 1/4, setting the school record in February. She also owns the school discus record.
Rew was second in the women’s discus, with a 150-11 throw that was 11 inches shy of her school mark.
Chad Leath, a senior, ran second in the men’s 400 hurdles, running a personal best 51.93 that shaved time off the 52.19 time that was 11th-ranked nationally last week, early in the season. It enhanced his regional and national ranking. LSU’s Patrick Lee won in 51.89.
Leath took seventh in the 110 meter hurdles final in 15.14.
The Lady Demons were second in the 4x200 relay in 1:37.31, and the NSU men took third in the 4x200 in 1:26.99.
