MONMOUTH, Ill. – In what is becoming a weekly occurrence, two more Monmouth College track and field athletes have been named Performer of the Week.

Junior jumper Albert Greene (Galesburg, Ill./HS) and sophomore sprinter Kila Cox (Rockton, Ill./Hononegah) were honored after stellar performances at last weekend’s Wartburg Select Meet in Waverly, Iowa.

Greene came within inches of his personal records in both the long jump and triple jump in two second-place efforts on Saturday. His triple jump of 46’5-1/2 bettered the provisional-qualifying mark, and he had a 22’5 long jump. Both performances are the best in the MWC so far this season.

Cox placed sixth and recorded a personal-best time of 59.50 in the 400-meter dash. She was also part of a three-way tie for fourth in the 200-meter dash with a clocking of 25.80, which was another PR. Both times are ranked No. 1 in the MWC so far this season. Cox also performed well on two relays, including a 58.4-second leadoff leg in the 4x400.

A communication and theater arts major, Greene is the son of Albert, Jr., and Linda Greene of Galesburg.

Cox, a business major, is the daughter of John and Robin Kloster of Rockton.
