Whisner, a senior, automatically qualified for the NCAA Championships in the javelin with a mark of 158-feet 5-inches at the Drake Relays, good for a sixth-place finish in the combined University-College Division. The mark, which broke her own school record by more than nine feet, surpassed the U.S. Track and Field B Standard by more than four feet and was just two feet shy of an A Standard which would automatically qualify her for the U.S. Track and Field Championships in June.
