COLLEGE STATION, TX - 2004 CAA Champion William and Mary women’s track and field’s Brenna Blevins (Pulaski, VA) competed Saturday in the javelin at the USA Track and Field Junior Outdoor Track and Field Championships, hosted by Texas A&M. Blevins, a freshman, threw for 121’5” to claim 10th place in the event. The competition ends the season for Blevins, a versatile athlete who competes primarily in the sprints, high jump and javelin in addition to seeing time in the hurdles and multi events. USATF defines “junior” athletes as those who are at least 14 years old on the day of competition but who will not turn 20 years old during 2004.

Blevins had a strong rookie campaign that included All-CAA honors with her runner-up javelin finish at the conference championships and a win in the high jump at the Christopher Newport Winter Frolic. An ECAC qualifier in the javelin, Blevins was part of the school indoor record-breaking 4x400m relay that clocked 3:54.85 at the Virginia Tech Challenge.
