Mariah Smolka (Lebanon Valley / Sr. / Rio Grande, N.J.) set the Lebanon Valley records in the shot put and weight throw on Saturday, leading the way with two event wins at the Dutchmen Invitational. Smolka broke LVC's 16 year-old shot put record with a 44-4 feet heave, ranking ninth in NCAA Division III this year and best in the MAC. She then reset her weight throw mark with an NCAA top-25 and MAC-best attempt of 50-8 feet, a two-foot personal record as she became the first LVC woman to eclipse 50 feet.
