WALNUT, Calif. - Arizona State junior thrower Vince Mosca earned an NCAA provisional qualifying mark in the men's discus, placing third with a personal-best effort of 182 feet, 10 inches during day two of the Mt. Sac Relays in Walnut, Calif. Saturday.
Mosca finished only behind SMU's Hannes Hopley (202-9) and Texas A&M's Josh Ralston (185-4). Already a provisional qualifier in the men's shot put this season, Mosca's discus mark ranks ninth in ASU history.
Three Sun Devils also came away with wins in their heats of the university/open 400m at the Mt. Sac Relays, Saturday. Senior Candida Coulson won the third heat of the women's 400m in 54.35. In the men's 400m, sophomore Steve Fitch won heat three in 47.07 and junior Lorenzo Parham won heat two in a season-best 47.34. All three clocked Pac-10 qualifying times.
