AZUSA, Calif. - San Diego State junior Leslie Miller threw a personal best in the javelin on Friday to finish in fourth place at the Mt. SAC Heptathlon, held on the Azusa Pacific campus. Miller's eight event total of 5,472 gives her the sixth-best mark in the nation this season and third-best all-time in the SDSU record book. That mark also qualifies her provisionally for nationals.
Miller, who picked up 2,270 points in day two of the competition, threw the javelin a distance of 132-10, the best by an Aztec this season.
Miller also leaped a distance of 18-6 in the long jump and ran the 800 meters in 2:17.93.
Friday's strong finish came on the heels of an outstanding showing on Thursday, in which Miller set PRs in three events. The career bests came in the 100 hurdles (14.12), 200 meters (25.23) and high jump (5-3.25). She also threw the shot a distance of 37-8.75.
The SDSU track program continues competition in the Mt. SAC Relays on Saturday and Sunday.
