SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – For the third time in the last seven weeks of the Pac-12 Track and Field season, redshirt junior Maggie Ewen has been named the conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week.

The Bowerman Award Watch List thrower once again broke the American collegiate record in the women's hammer throw at the Duel in the Desert this past weekend, outdoing herself with a mark of 72.81m (238-10).

The mark not only exceeded her previous record throw this season, but also broke the collegiate dual meet record set by DeAnna Price in 2016.

As if that isn't enough, she has a whopping 15-foot advantage over the next best national mark set this season.

Ewen won the hammer throw at the ASU vs. Arizona dual meet on Friday evening, then proceeded to capture the victory in the discus throw and shot put on Saturday as well. Her seasonal bests in both of those events sit atop the Pac-12 list and top-10 nationally.

The redshirt junior will join her teammates at the Pac-12 Championships in Eugene, Ore. next weekend, as she attempts to capture a conference title in all three events.

Along with her three weekly conference honors, Ewen was also named the USTFCCCA National Female Athlete of the Week back on March 21 for setting the American collegiate record the first time at the Baldy Castillo Invitational.
