KANSAS CITY, Mo. – After not competing at the collegiate level in more than two years, Madison Wolf started the 2018 outdoor season where she left off. The Bennington, Kan. native was named MIAA Women’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week on Monday (March 19) after winning the javelin throw competition at last week’s ESU Spring Invitational.

Wolf automatically qualified for the 2018 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships after a heave of 167-3, besting teammate and runner-up Alexcia Deutscher by more than 10 feet. Sitting in second entering her sixth and final throw, the graduate student hurled the spear more than 11 feet past her previous long throw of the day. Wolf currently tops the performance chart in NCAA Division II and owns the eighth-longest toss across all NCAA ranks so far this season.

Wolf, a three-time All-American in the discipline, will now have the opportunity to make it four All-American honors at this year’s National Championships in May.
