PRINCETON, N.J. - Rachel Pena's fifth place finish in the hammer throw earned her All-East Honors and moved her up the NCAA East Regional list at the ECAC Championships on Saturday at Princeton's Weaver Stadium.

Pena, a sophomore, recorded a distance of 183' and set a new personal best in the event. The fifth place finish currently ranks as the highest for any Lafayette student-athlete competing at this weekend's championship.
