NEW ORLEANS, La. – South Alabama pole vaulter Kyle Rademeyer was named the Sun Belt men's field athlete of the week, the conference announced Wednesday morning.
Rademeyer earned the award as a result of his efforts at the 95th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in Austin, Texas this past weekend. He finished fourth in the University Elite grouping, clearing a height of 5.61 meters (18 feet, 4.75 inches).
The height is a new South Alabama record in the outdoor event. Rademeyer set the school record for the indoor pole vault at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March.
