ARLINGTON, TX – Winnie Kipsang and Desmond Frazier have been named the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Women's Indoor Track and Men's Field Athletes of the Week, respectively, conference officials announced today.
Frazier earned the honors after claiming an indoor PR in the men's shot put with a 17.89m toss, which also currently leads the WAC. Last week, Frazier recorded a 17.61m toss, which would still lead the conference by almost a full meter and a half.
Kipsang, the sophomore from Kenya, claimed her first indoor track athlete of the week honors with a second-place finish in the highly-touted Ted Nelson Invitational. Her 800m time of 2:08.81 is her fastest time of the season, and also ranks first in the WAC by almost six full seconds.
