KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Mid-American Conference announced its weekly track and field awards, and Western Michigan took home both honors this week. Sandra Ferrari and Mabinty Kebe were honored for their outstanding performances at the Clark Wood Open.
Ferrari was named the league's Field Athelte of the Week after dominating in the long jump. She finished third in the event with a leap of 6.16 meters. That was a season-best performance for her and currently stands as the second best mark in the MAC. Along with that, Ferrari now ranks 27th in the NCAA East Region, which puts her in prime position to qualify for the regional meet.
