She tossed a season-best mark of 170-02 for fourth overall in the event. Farrell, the defending Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Champion in the hammer, rates second in the conference this season behind Millersville's Vanessa Hower.
Farrell's mark was one of 19 PSAC marks on Saturday, nine of which were new marks.
Emma Sullivan (Phoenixville, PA/Methacton) won the pole vault against many Division I competitors. Her mark of 11-7.75 was her best mark of the outdoor season and just .02m off a NCAA provisional.
