Brandy Connell, HNS '99, breaks records whenever she throws the hammer. Early in the spring, she broke the UD women's hammer throw record of 167 feet 2 inches, and at the Penn Relays, she broke her own record, throwing 175 feet 8 inches. Connell's biggest fans are her 5-year-old twins and her mother, Patricia, who won the Delaware Senior Olympics in the same event. An exercise and sports science major, Connell currently is working at the YMCA in Newark.
