FAIRFAX, Va. – Junior Elizabeth Makar recorded an NCAA provisional throw in the shot put as the East Stroudsburg University women's track and field team concluded the Dalton Ebanks Invitational on Saturday at George Mason Stadium.

One day after eclipsing her own school record, Makar returned in impressive fashion as the junior took first place in the shot put with an NCAA provisional mark of 14.05m (46-1 ¼).

Posting PSAC automatic qualifying marks for the Warriors was Destiny Thompson (100m, 200m) and Kamya Edmonds (triple jump).
