Rookie Jill Knight (St. Thomas, Ont.) of the track and field team continues to move up on the Waterloo top 10 list in her throws events with two respectful eighth place finishes at the Gryphon Track Open this past weekend.  Knight threw a new varsity record in the weight throw of 13.60m, almost a full metre past the previous record she set earlier this year. Knight also posted a personal best in the shot put event throwing a distance of 11.08m which ranks her seventh all-time in Waterloo history in just her first season as a Warrior.
