FAIRFAX, Va. -- Latrell Fomby and

Climbing up the program's all-time performance list in a pair of events, Fomby excelled in both the weight throw and shot put. Kicking off the day, he unloaded a 17.05-meter toss in the weight throw, which moved him into the top-50 nationally and marked the fifth-longest heave in program history. Later, he added a 14.72-meter launch in the shot put, which bumped him to ninth on the school's all-time list.
Along with Fomby, Sliwa was equally dominant in the weight throw. During the meet, he placed third overall with a 17.12-meter toss. That vaulted him into the top-50 on the national charts and elevated him to third on the program's all-time performance list.
