Patterson kicked off her senior outdoor track and field season with a new meet record in the javelin toss, hitting a distance of 191-08 (58.41m.) at the Arizona State Invitational this past weekend.  Her first-place mark shattered the regional qualifying standard by nearly 15 meters and was only an inch shy of her U.S. Olympic Trials record which she set last summer.  The senior takes home her fourth career weekly laurel.
