NEW ORLEANS— Didn’t set a collegiate or NCAA Division I
record this week? That’s what it took to earn National Athlete of the Week
honors at the NCAA DI level this week from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross
Country Coaches Association.
Demi Payne of Stephen F. Austin turned in a pair of
collegiate pole vault records to earn the women’s DI award for the second week
in a row, while Michael Lihrman of Wisconsin took the men’s DI honor
for his DI weight throw record and his general revision of the event’s
collegiate all-time list. He is also a two-time honoree, dating back to 2014
when he set his previous NCAA DI record.
Taking the men’s and women’s awards for NCAA Division II were
sprinter Emmanuel Matadi of Minnesota State and
thrower Heavin Warner of Central Missouri.
NCAA Division III’s honors went to a pair of sprinters in Melique Garcia of SUNY Cortland and Electra Korn of Emory.
NJCAA was represented by jumper Keimon Barrow of SUNY Delhi and Janet Amponsah of Western Texas College.
