The senior was the only female athlete to win three individual

events. She won the hammer by over 12.50 meters (41 feet) and broke
her own school record by nearly two full meters with a throw of
57.57 meters (188 feet, 10 inches). In the shot put she won with a
mark of 13.26 meters (43 feet, 6 inches) and was only .05 meters
off her own personal best. Her second SCIAC sweep was completed
with a discus distance of 37.58 meters (123 feet, 3 inches) leading
a group of Regals whom finished first through fifth. Youngern
currently holds CLU school records in all three disciplines and has
earned one NCAA Automatic Qualifying standard (hammer) and two
Provisional Qualifying standards (discus, shot put) with her best
marks in 2010.
