SEATTLE (Apr. 15) -- Seattle Pacific University's Dionna Anderson, who shattered the Great Northwest Athletic Conference women's shot put record, was selected as GNAC track & field co-athlete of the week.

Anderson (Sr., Lynnwood, Wa./Edmonds-Woodway/Edmonds CC) won the Pelluer Invitational with a mark of 46 feet, 6 1/4 inches. It was the fifth-best effort in NCAA Division II this season and improved her personal-best mark by more than two feet. She also won the Northwest Relays less than 12 hours after arriving home from Cheney. Anderson is the first SPU thrower to break 46 feet since 1978, and has now won her last three meets.
