Stanford, Ca - Despite the cold and rainy conditions on Sunday at Cobb Track & Angell Field, several Stanford track & field athletes kicked off the 2006 outdoor season with impressive results at the Stanford Spring Opener.
In the javelin, Danielle Maier began the 2006 outdoor season with an NCAA Regional qualifying throw of 157-5 (47.98m) which is more than seven feet better than her previous best of 150-2 (45.78m) last year. Maier's throw is second-best in the Stanford record book, and just short of the school record of 158-7 (48.35m) set by Allison Beatty in 1999. The Regional qualifying standard is 142-6 (43.45m).
Two other Stanford athletes qualified for the NCAA Regionals. Sarah Hopping, the school record holder in the hammer, easily qualified for the Regionals with an effort of 194-7 (59.30m). The regional qualifying standard is 177-8 (54.15m). Sophomore Anna McFarlane gained entrance to the NCAA Regionals with a winning effort of 12-6 (3.81m) in the pole vault.
