Clem is entering her final season as a Nittany Lion thrower. She is a seasoned competitor in the Big Ten conference and we expect her to be a contender for the Big Ten discus title. She has stepped up and scored for our team in both the discus and shot put throughout her career. We look for big throws from Clem this year.
