Kilis thanks to a double victory in the throws at Army’s Crowell Open was a welcomed sight for the Pioneers who lost former NEC champion thrower Marsha Locke to graduation. Kilis extended her NEC lead in the weight throw and took over the top spot on the shot put performance list. The veteran registered a throw 16.48 m (54-1.00) to qualify for the ECAC Championships in the weight before putting the shot a NEC-best 13.10m (42-11.75).
