The Pac-10 record is 61-10 1/4 (18.85m) set by UCLA's Valeyta Althouse in 1995. Camarena's previous best of 57-4 3/34 (17.49m) was sixth-best all-time in the Pac-10.

Camarena broke her school record on her first first throw at 58-6 (17.83m), and then broke it again on second throw at 58-6 1/2 (17.84m). After two fouls, Camarena then broke loose with her record throw on her fourth effort at 59-6 3/4 (18.15m). On her final throw, Camarena threw the shot put 59-6 1/4 (18.14m).
