.karathrowsjav became the first American woman to win a world championship medal in the javelin at the World Athletics Championships. 🥈 PurdueTrackXC
EUGENE, Ore. — A Purdue alumna and four time Olympian has now made her place in the American record books."I [got to do] what I knew I could do all along ... literally nothing to lose on my last throw and magic happened," Winger told WRTV.
"That was all exactly the right recipe for success — just to laugh, to be relaxed, to be normal with them and my closest friends on the team," Winger said. "I really appreciate that sentiment. I'd rather someone had blazed this trail before me and I could just build on that success, but if somebody has to do it, I'm happy for it to be me. I've taken the longest, hardest road it feels like to finally get there," Winger said.
Winger competed in the Olympics in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020. Winger is the first female athlete in Purdue history and second overall to participate in four Olympic Games. She owns the Purdue record in the javelin and previously held the American record in the sport.
