Coming off the best heptathlon of her career, Wolf Pack senior Nicole Wadden was named the Mountain West field athlete of the week Tuesday.
Competing at the Texas Relays, Wadden scored a career-best 5,697 points. That score ranks her fourth in the NCAA this season. Wadden set or tied a personal record in four of the seven events.
The top 24 multi-athletes in the nation automatically qualify for the NCAA finals and Wadden has placed herself in good position with six weeks until conference championships begin.
Tuesday’s honor marks the first of the year for the Wolf Pack and the second of Wadden's career.
