Whalen Wins Shotput Event In North Carolina


Chelsea Whalen continues to set a high standard in the shotput. The 20-year-old from Liverpool won the Atlantic Coast Conference's Outdoor Track and Field Championship women's shotput event today with a top throw of 16.33 metres. The throw will also re-write the record books for Nova Scotia senior women. It also eclipses her record mark of 16.23 metres for Florida State, which she set recently at the Seminole Invitational in Tallahassee, Florida.  It's Florida State University's first title in the ACC shotput event since 2000.
