Jelmini adds more national hardware

EUGENE, Ore. -- Shafter High graduate Anna Jelmini earned her second junior national championship of the weekend with a victory in the discus Saturday at the USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Jelmini's winning throw of 174 feet, 10 inches was well short of her national record (190-3), but it easily outdistanced Erin Pendleton and Aslynn Halvorson, who each threw 169-5.

"I threw decent today," said Jelmini, who will next compete July 31-Aug. 2 at the Pan Am Juniors in Trinidad and Tobago. "It has been a long weekend. I just did what I needed to do to go to the next meet."

Jelmini captured the junior national shot put title Friday night.
