4/1/2009

OGDEN, Utah — Sacramento State sophomore Ify Agwuenu was named the Big Sky Conference Female Field Athlete of the Week for the week ending March 28.

At the Cal-Nevada Championships at UCLA, Agwuenu broke her own school record with a shot put of 49-08.50. Her mark qualified her for the NCAA West Regional for the second consecutive year and also moved her into ninth place all-time in the Big Sky record book.

The Chino Hills, Calif., athlete currently leads the Big Sky by 2-feet, 6.75-inches and ranks third in the West Region and 16th in Div. I.

Portland State javlein thrower Westin Merrill and Northern Arizona distance runner Diego Estrada earned Big Sky Male Field and Track Athlete of the Week honors. NAU’s Nell Rojas was named the Female Track Athelte of the Week.

Agwuenu is the third Hornet to earn the Big Sky’s Athlete of the Week award during the outdoor season. Last week, Kristina Holtz and David Rabinowitz were named Female and Male co-Track Athlete of the Week.
