She also placed third in the shot-put event throwing a 31'8.0", 9.65m) When asked about Sterling's performance, Head Coach Black stated, "Sterling tied a school record and broke two more. Hitting the national standard was a nice bonus. She will continue to improve, and we will see how she fares at the season's end."
