Bowling Green, Ohio – After breaking her own school record in the shot put, redshirt senior Aliyah Gustafson has been named the Mid-American Conference's Field Athlete of the Week. It is the third time this year that Gustafson has been bestowed with the honor.
Gustafson virtually assured herself of a return trip to the NCAA Indoor Track & Field National Championships by throwing the shot put 57-feet-5 (17.50m) at the Can-Am International, hosted by Eastern Michigan. She ranks No. 3 in the country in the event and leads the MAC by more than six feet.
Gustafson also competed in the weight throw at the meet and tossed a season-best 64-9.
