DES MOINES, Iowa – Former Edwardsburg standout Becky Breisch won her another national championship this past weekend.
Breisch, who started at the University of Nebraska, captured the 2010 USA Track and Field Championships’ discus with a toss of 207-feet-10.
The former Drake Relays champion, captured the national title at Drake Stadium.
Breisch competed for the Cornhuskers from 2002 until 2006. She currently trains in Chula Vista, Calif.
“I wasn’t consistent,” she said following her victory. “I had a hard start getting out. Jarred Rome was helping me. He was coaching me. Unfortunately, my coach was in the stadium with the pole vault and shot put. He [Rome] definitely got me going and through it. My third and fourth throws were my good ones – including the 63-meter throw. So that was great.”
