RALEIGH, N.C. – Redshirt junior Nathaniel Williams won the men’s discus and redshirt sophomore Tremanisha Taylor collected her fifth-straight victory in the women’s shot put, as NC State concluded competition at the UCF Invitational in Orlando Fla.
Williams recorded his first top finish of the season in the men’s discus with a 180’ 2.00” throw, while Jule Rich (168’ 11.00”) and Grant Pearce (165’ 7.00) were close behind in third and fourth place, respectively.
Taylor took home the top spot in the women’s shot put with a toss of 50’ 9.25” and placed second in the women’s discus with a 167’ 1.00” throw. Taylor’s shot put victory was her fifth consecutive dating back to her first-place finish Feb. 16 at the Kent Taylor Invitational during the indoor season.
