Hope she brings back the national title to USF:USF Track & Field Standout Chandra Brewer Advances To Shot Put Final At NCAA Championships (Note: The shot put prelims began at 8:30 p.m. pacific time, 11:30 p.m. eastern time on June 9)Sacramento, CA (June 10, 2005) – USF track and field standout Chandra Brewer (Bartow, FL) is well on her way to earning All-America honors for the third consecutive year in the shot put, and has proven to be a serious threat to win a National Championship in the event. Brewer, the Bulls’ lone participant at the NCAA Championships being held at Sacramento State University, shattered the school record in the event with a toss of 55-5.75 inches in the preliminaries. She surpassed the old mark of 54-8 inches which she set earlier this season. In addition her throw is tied for the second best throw at the championships. “Chandra threw extremely well,†said USF head track and field coach Greg Thiel. “We are just hoping that she can keep up her intensity and step up on Saturday.â€ÂRecording the top throw in the prelims was Brewer’s in-state rival Kimberli Bennett of Miami who recorded a distance of 56-7.25 inches. Michelle Carter of Texas equaled Brewer’s throw of 55-5.75 inches and shares second. Should Brewer finish first in the shot put event she would be the first track athlete to win a national title since Jon Dennis won the 5,000 meters at the 1992 and 1993 NCAA Championships.Brewer is scheduled to take part in the finals on Saturday, June 11 at 9:30 p.m. eastern time (6:30 p.m. pacific time).http://gobulls.usf.edu/Sports/News.asp?i=1658&s=Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for Brewer, she came out on the short end a very competitive shot put event at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships held at Sacramento State University tonight.After entering this week’s championships as the 10th ranked shot putter in the nation, Brewer finished fifth in the event with a throw of 54-4.50 inches, and earned All-America honors for the third consecutive year. That accomplishment makes her the first USF track and field athlete – man or woman – to earn All-America kudos three times in an individual outdoor event during her career.“I am just so proud of Chandra,†said USF track and field coach Greg Thiel. “This is just a tremendous way for her to end what was an outstanding career. For her to finish fifth after coming in 10th is just a testament to her tireless work ethic. She has certainly set the bar for the ladies that will compete in the shot put at USF in the future.â€ÂBrewer advanced to the finals after recording a school record throw of 55-5.75 inches in the preliminaries later Thursday night. Her throw was tied for the second best throw of the prelims.Instate rival Kimberli Bennett, of Miami, won the championship with a throw of 59-8.50 inches.
