LaPorscha Wells, who set a pair of Sun Belt and Georgia State records at last week's conference championship, is the Georgia State Student-Athlete of the Week, powered by the U.S. Marines.
Wells, the junior from Augusta, Ga. turned in two amazing performances that set both Sun Belt and GSU school records in the weight throw and the shot put as she scored 20 points at the Sun Belt Championships.
The junior, who had been the Most Outstanding Performer of the Sun Belt Outdoor Championships in the spring, had a weight throw Monday of 20.06m (65-9.75). That topped the Sun Belt Championship mark of 19.
