TEMPE - Jorinde van Klinken is officially the best in the world.
The first-year Sun Devil competed in both Arizona's Tucson Elite Classic and the USTA Throws Festival this week in Tucson where she shattered her own personal record, tossed a pair of Olympic-standards, and lept to the top of the international stage. Van Klinken's fifth-round mark of 70.22m (230-4) leads the world by 1.23 meters/4 feet and broke the Dutch record (63.88m, Corrode de Bruin) by 6.34m/20-5. The IAAF women's discus standard is 63.50m.
Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
Saunders Won Back-To-Back SP Titles, Set CR
June 9, 2016
That’s a common refrain Raven Saunders heard from her coach Connie Price-Smith.
Saunders doubled up on immortality in 2015 when she completed the indoor-outdoor sweep of the shot put as a freshman at Southern Illinois. She was just the third freshman in meet history to top the outdoor podium – joining Eileen Vanisi of Texas in 1991 and Jessica Cosby of UCLA in 2002 (Vanisi actually set a meet record 24 years prior in her first foray).
Fast forward one year and Saunders returned to the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships as the defending champion, but under a new banner. Saunders followed Price-Smith to Oxford, Mississippi, when the four-time Olympian took over at Ole Miss.
