Dorotea Habazin (Virginia Tech) led all qualifiers on the women's side to close out the weekend's action. Habazin threw 64.61m to win the East regional before passing on her final two attempts. Jeneva McCall (Southern Illinois) won the West region. She trailed Alena Krechyk (Kansas) by one centimeter at the start of the sixth round, but threw a personal best of 64.12m on her last attempt to win.  McCall and her teammates took four of the top five spots at the meet.  Nikola Lomnicka (Georgia) threw 61.93m on her first throw before fouling three attempts and passing her last two throws. Still, the mark was good enough for second in the East region.

As with every qualifying, there are a few casualties to report. As I've been saying this season, inconsistency has plagued a lot of female throwers this year, and that showed this weekend. While the men's qualification round was pretty straightforward, four of the top ten seeds in both the east and west failed to qualify. Freshman and U.S. junior record holder Lauren Chambers (USC) had the sixth best mark in the West entering the meet, but only managed to take 25th place. A big PR by Amanda Bingson (UNLV) had her ranked second entering the meet, but she also only 21st. Other surprise non-qualifiers in the west: Sarah Grimm (Utah) (placed 20th, seeded 4th) and Nicole Luckenbach (Eastern Washington) (placed 27th, seeded 10th). Some big names also fell in the east. Kristin Smith (Kentucky) was seede third and placed just 17th. Others that missed the cut: Crystal Bourque (Rhode Island) (placed 15th, seeded 6th), Brittany Horne (Detroit Mercy) (placed 14th, seeded 7th), and Kelsey Hanley (Indiana State) (placed 22nd, seeded 8th). NCAA indoor champion D'Ana McCarty squeezed in by little more than a foot.
