Orland Park, IL (April 9, 2011) The Varsity throwers did an outstanding job Saturday at Andrew Invite. Senior captain Yari Lopez tossed a 84'5" in the discus, earning her 4th place overall, while freshman Stephanie Verduzco placed 6th overall with a personal best in the Varsity shot put. Coach Kreil has really set the bar high season, and having incredible success with the throwers this season. Coach Kreil comments "The girls are starting to buy into what we have been stressing at practice. Our success this season at meets/invites shows that we are getting better as a team, and it is a direct result of the time and effort put in at practice each week. We have a younger throws program. Regardless, we will continue to grow and continue to be competitve now, and in the future."
