IUP senior Gretchen Colwell has
been selected the PSAC Field Athlete of the Week for her performance at
the PSAC West Challenge held last Saturday at Slippery Rock.
Colwell
(Templeton/Redbank Valley) won the weight throw and took over the top
spot in the PSAC with a best throw of 53 feet, 3 ½ inches. That mark
provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Division II meet and places her
14th in the nation.
Colwell also finished
fourth in the shot put at the PSAC West Challenge with a throw of 37-2
½, which is just four feet short of earning an NCAA provisional
qualification.
The IUP track and field
teams are back in action this weekend at the Bucknell Bison Open in
Lewisburg.
