NEW YORK – Kicking off the fourth weekend of competition for the University at Albany indoor track & field program, a trio of weight throwers were accepted to compete in their event at the opening day of the 2015 Millrose Games at the Armory.  The invitational weight throw is one of a handful of field events contested on Thursday before the meet proper begins on Saturday.

Briana Cherry-Bronson placed second in the women's weight throw with a mark of 64'-1.75”, matching her second best throw on the season.  Chinwe Igwe recorded a mark of 50'-5.25” to place ninth.  The women's field consisted of nine competitors.

Jonathan Eustache set a new personal best in the men's weight throw of 63''9.75”, taking third place.  His previous best was 61', which he threw at this year's Upstate Challenge at Cornell.  So far this season, Eustache has improved his best mark by more than 10 feet.

With their events at Millrose concluded, the three weight throwers will travel to Boston to rejoin their teammates for another round of weight throwing this weekend at Boston University's Valentine Invitational.  The meet is scheduled to begin Friday at 1:30 p.m. with the men's distance medley relay.  Friday field events are scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m.
