Sofia Cosculluela scores heptathlon personal best to take collegiate lead at Mt. SAC...
WALNUT, California-- Washington's Sofia Cosculluela (Paul Merca photo) rode the wave of a strong start in the long jump all the way to a new personal best and a third place finish in the elite section of the heptathlon at the Mt. SAC Relays at Hilmer Lodge Stadium on the campus of Mt. San Antonio College Thursday. After closing day one with 3637 points, good for fifth, the Spaniard started day two with a third round jump of 20-5 (6.22m), close to her all time personal best of 21-2.5 (6.46m), set in 2023. That mark was good for 918 points. In the javelin, she threw 130-1 (39.66m), well off what she threw at last year's Mt. SAC meet, where she threw 146-11 (44.79m), and her personal best of 160-8 (48.97m) that she threw at the NCAA championships. That effort was worth 661 points, her lowest individual event score of the two days. She rebounded from the javelin by running a personal best 2:16.15, worth 877 points. Cosculluela's previous personal best was 2:18.82 set last year...
