Kassanavoid, who threw 76.82m to set a personal best Nairobi, earlier this month, enjoyed a productive series in Tucson, this weekend, after opening with a 74.88m, improved her previous PB with 77.17m in the second round before going even further in distance with her winning mark of 78.00m in round three.
The 27-year-old also threw 75.01m in the fifth round, which is also good enough to rank among her best-ever throws.
Meanwhile, her American compatriot Brooke Anderson, who is ranked fourth on the world all-time list and No.2 in US history with her 79.02m PB, set last month at the same venue, was also in good form on Saturday,
However, the Olympic finalist had to settle for second place at the end of the competition with her best mark this weekend being 77.75m which came in a very competitive third round.
With her new PB achievement this weekend, Kassanavoid moved to third on the US all-time list behind reigning world champion DeAnna Price (80.31m) and Andersen (79.02m).
