Women's Shot

Seilala Sua, who won the discus on Friday, added the shot title, doubling successfully as she did twice at the NCAA Championships ('99 and '00) while a collegian. A cold drizzle dripped from a gray sky, wetting the ring, throughout much of the competition.

Sua, who has been throwing the shot just once a week in training this season spun out a PR 58-11 1/2 in round 5 to take the lead from 12-time champion Connie Price-Smith.

Price-Smith responded immediately, albeit unsuccessfully, hitting her best of the day, 58-8 1/2, in the same frame.

In frame 6, Sua came up just short of her new personal best at 58-10 3/4.
