BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Last week at the MAC Championships, senior Lauren Bryant threw for a BGSU school record in the weight throw. The throw of 63-00.75 also qualified Bryant for this week's Notre Dame Alex Wilson Invitational, which is a national qualifier. Bryant is currently ranks 28th in the nation in the weight throw and hopes to throw well enough this Friday to move up into the top 16, which would move her on to the national meet.

Last weeks throw of 63-00.75 (19.22m), was Bryant's best throw of the season: Bryant now holds the top weight throw on the BGSU indoor best list.
