Shelbi Vaughan breaks her record to claim third SEC discus title

Published by Texas A&M SID on May 15, 2015

STARKVILLE, Mississippi – Texas A&M junior Shelbi Vaughan launched the discus 211 feet, 8 inches in securing a third consecutive SEC title and broke her championship meet record of 208-8 set last season as she dominated the event by 24 feet on Friday during the second day of the SEC Championships hosted by Mississippi State.

The 10 points from Vaughan improved the Aggie team score to 37 points through eight of 21 events completed. Arkansas leads with 58.5 points followed by Georgia (46) and A&M with Kentucky (32) and Alabama (31.5) rounding out the top five.

With seven of 21 events scored on the men’s side Florida leads with 50 points over Georgia (47), Arkansas (36), Kentucky (27) and Texas A&M (24).

Vaughan improved her Aggie school record in the process of moving to No. 5 on the all-time collegiate list and becoming the No. 4 American collegian. For the 2015 season Vaughan is currently No. 8 on the world list and the American leader as she surpassed a mark of 206-4 by Whitney Ashley.

“I’m really excited about it,” exclaimed Vaughan. “People keep asking me what my goal is for this season and what I’m going to throw today. I tell them my goal is for you guys to help me to get over 200 feet. For myself I have personal goals, which I’ll still keep secrete since I have two more collegiate meets this year.
