SPRINGFIELD -- After missing out on the shot put title by just .25 inches last year, Sanford made sure on Saturday, becoming a three-time champion in the event at the North Coast Athletic Conference Indoor Championships held at Wittenberg University.
 
Not only did the senior top the field, her throw of 43 feet, 5 inches beat her previously held school record at 42 feet, 11.75 inches, which she set earlier this year. It was Wooster's lone All-NCAC laurel of the meet.
 
At the time of this writing, it is the 29th best throw in Div. III this season.
 
Overall, the John Carroll University women placed first with a total of 166 points. Wooster was eighth with 13, two points shy of Oberlin for seventh.
 
On the men's side, Wittenberg University won with 157 points, while the men placed ninth with four points.
 
The women's 4x200 relay team scored a point for Wooster with an eighth-place finish. Eliana Cozzie, Claire Davis, Emeili Tarpy and Amy Gabrovsek ran a time of 1:49.48.
