COLLEGEVILLE, Pa. - Alyssa Catalano threw a personal-best 40-02.05 to repeat as the shot put champion at the 2009 Centennial Conference (CC) Indoor Track & Field Championships on Sunday at Ursinus.

Catalano hit the 12.25m mark on her fifth try to earn 10 points for the Diplomats in her only event of the weekend. Erin Gleason had the next best finish on the day for F&M, taking fourth in the shot put with a distance of 37-10.00.
