Korgeski threw a distance of 13.58 meters (44’-6.75”) for the best mark in the conference and the third best distance in Division III. The junior finished runner-up to Division II Millersville’s Sunflower Greene, a 2017 Division II national qualifier. Korgeski’s best throw came on her sixth and final throw. She made the finals with a throw of 12.91 meters, which would rank ninth in the country currently.
