TCU long jumper Cleavon Dillon has been selected as the Conference USA Male Track Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 6, the conference office announced today.

Dillon, a freshman from St. Clair, Trinidad and Leavenworth, Kan., finished second in the long jump at the Texas Relays behind LSU standout and U.S. Olympian Walter Davis. Dillon posted an NCAA provisional mark of 7.89 meters or 25 feet, 10 and three-quarters inches, ranking first in the conference and third in the country this season. Dillon finished fourth at the NCAA Indoor Championships last month.

Dillon and the Flyin' Frogs will be in action again this weekend when they travel to College Station to compete in the Texas A&M Invitational on Saturday.
