MILLERSVILLE – Sophomore Travis Toth had a 10-foot PR in the hammer throw to better his NCAA Division II provisional qualifying mark, and senior Matt Tholis continued his outstanding season in the javelin to highlight East Stroudsburg University's performances at the Millersville Metrics on Saturday.

Toth had a mark of 192-8, the second-best in school history, to top his mark of 182-3 at the season opener at Washington and Lee two weeks ago.

Tholis, who had the second-best mark in DII with a school-record and NCAA automatic of 226-5 last week at Lafayette, had a throw of 222-1. Senior Josh Hontz was third at 199-10 after hitting 207-3 last week.
