Performer of the Week

Alex Stuart

Junior Alex Stuart earned himself a Midwest Con-ference Performer of the Week after having a stellar performance at the Dick Young Track and Field Classic in Grinnell, Iowa. Stuart competed in three field events which included the javelin, triple jump and long jump. The junior threw a career distance in the javelin, 187’9, which earned him the victory. He then placed second in the triple jump with a leap of 46’8, and to go along with his career best javelin throw, he added a career best in the long jump (21’10-1/2). His triple jump mark placed him 8th in the nation, and his javelin throw is just inches short of the national provisional qualifying mark.
