The 31 year old threw 7.44 metres with her third attempt in the women's F11/F12 final at the Olympic Stadium in Engenhão, but still finished at the back of the field in 12th place.
Compatriot Sione Manu also threw a personal best distance in the men's F46 javelin final yesterday.
The 37 year old managed a best effort of 35.62 metres, but finished well behind the pack.
