Capriglione once again moved up the NCAA Division III charts during the week.  At the Northern Challenge, hosted by Northern Michigan University on Feb. 16, Capriglione won both the weight throw and the shot put, setting new school records in the process.  She won the weight throw with a mark of 57-9 3/4 (17.62 meters), which moves her up to third among NCAA Division III throwers.  In the shot put, Capriglione had a heave of 44-5 1/4 (13.54 meters).  The mark gave her another first-place finish and moved her into the No. 12 position on the NCAA Division III rankings.
