Official Site of the Midwest Conference

Kayla Braun's outdoor season picked up where her indoor campaign left off with strong throws in the shot put and discus at Illinois State's Redbird Challenge last weekend. Competing against mostly Division I athletes, Braun finished second in the shot put and ranks 24th nationally with a throw of 12.76m. Her throw leads the Midwest Conference by almost a full meter. She also had the best discus throw for any non-DI competitor at the meet and her 37.98m toss ranks second in the MWC. Braun's 41.32m hammer throw ranked second to teammate Jillian Toth among all non-DI throwers and also ranks top-five in the MWC this season.
