SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. (May 3) – Junior Jing McCann shattered her own school record in the hammer throw while becoming the program's first women's thrower to earn All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) status in over 15 years on Friday during the opening day of the PSAC Outdoor Championships.

McCann placed third in the hammer throw with a heave of 51.51 meters (169.0 feet) on her third attempt. She eclipsed her previous school mark of 49.94 meters (160-7.0 feet) set last week, also at Shippensburg. McCann, who entered the weekend seeded fifth on the league's performance list, registered four throws of at least 50 meters on Friday. The Fox Chapel product is the school's first All-PSAC thrower – men's or women's – since the 2015 indoor campaign after finishing 10th overall in the hammer throw last spring.

Senior Kat Henderson and junior Tatum Hoffman both started competition in the heptathlon on Friday. Henderson sits fourth through four events with 2,818 points behind a top-five finish in the shot put and a personal-best time of 26.49 seconds in the 200-meter dash. Hoffman ranks seventh with 2,710 points with personal records in both the 100-meter hurdles and the 200 meters, as she placed third in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.43 seconds. Henderson and Hoffman will compete in the remaining three events of the heptathlon tomorrow, Saturday, May 3.

Millersville leads the team standings with 17 points through two events on the opening day of the league meet. Edinboro ranks second with 15 points and Seton Hill sits third with 10 points. California is slotted seventh in the team standings with six points from McCann in the hammer throw.

Overall, the Vulcans are set to have 10 individual entries competing in six events tomorrow during the second day of the PSAC Championships with events starting as early as 10:30 a.m.
