Discus

Final

Seilala Sua fought back from 4th position (and two fouls) after her first three attempts to win her fourth USATF discus title--complementing the 4 NCAA titles she won as a collegian.

After opening at 192-8, the UCLA alum moved into 2nd behind former Bruin teammate Suzy Powell (whose 207-8 best came in round 2) in the fourth round with a 199-4 toss.

That throw was enough to surpass Aretha Hill's 196-9, but Sua had to squirm a bit as Kris Kuehl's 205-7 in round, followed by yet another Sua foul, pushed her back into 3rd.

On her last attempt, the 2000 Trials winner spun one out to 207-10, and that was that.

"This is the first competition where I had to throw with emotion this year," said Sua, who was less than ecstatic. "I need to work on that a lot. I have a lot to work on. I want to be ready for the World Championships."
