UMKC finished fifth with 41.5 points, while Chicago State rounded out the field with 23 points.
Hagen's toss of 41'5" was 1 ¾" better than her previous best, helping earn her a fifth place finish in the event. Emilie Marsicek (Spalding, Mich./Carney-Nadeau H.S.) also scored for the Brown and Gold, placing sixth with a heave of 40'8 ¼".
Elsewhere in field events, Amanda Meyer (Somerset, Wis./Somerset H.S.) tied for fifth place in the pole vault, clearing 10'0".

On the oval, Danielle Nunnelly (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.) led a trio of scorers for the Crusaders in the mile. The freshman finished with a time of 5:17.72 in fifth position. Amy Mikel (Lemont, Ill./Fenwick H.S.) and Jobeth Schmiesing (North Mankato, Minn./Mankato West H.S.) were sixth and seventh respectively with times of 5:18.69 and 5:19.51.
In the 800m, Rachel Nelson (Lee's Summit, Mo./Lee's Summit H.S.) earned a sixth place finish with a time of 2:20.87, just .49 seconds out of third place. Ashley Billstrom (Hales Corners, Wis./Whitnall H.S.) turned in the Brown and Gold's top finish in the 5000m run with a time of 19:10.29, placing 11th.
