Bowers, Radcliffe Sweep Women's Nike #HLTF Athlete of the Week Selections
(1/1)
IAA Fan:
The Youngstown State track and field program has swept the women's side of this week's Nike #HLTF Athlete of the Week award, as two athletes have been recognized for their performances at Grand Valley State's Big Meet and Kent State's Doug Raymond National Qualifier across the Feb. 11-12 weekend, the league office announced on Tuesday.
Jahniya Bowers (60m) and Molly Radcliffe (shot put) were chosen for the weekly honors.
Matching a YSU school record in the event, Bowers clocked a personal-best time of 7.25 to place first in Friday's 60m dash at the Grand Valley State Big Meet. Bowers' time qualifies as the country's 15th-fastest mark, while also posing as the Horizon League's top time recorded during the 2021-22 indoor season.
The award marks the third time during the 2021-22 indoor season Bowers has recieved the conference honor through three months of competition.
Radcliffe threw the fifth-furthest shot put in YSU program history with a personal-best 14.50m (47' 7") mark at the Doug Raymond National Qualifier. Radcliffe's performance acts as the Horizon League's top-throw on the 2021-22 indoor season and was good for the sixth-furthest throw during Saturday's competition.
