Gayle-Woodley and Stovall Earn Final Men's Outdoor Weekly Honors

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) has announced its latest Men's Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week awards, presented by Tarkett Sports Construction. Student-athletes are nominated by their host institutions and selected via a vote by the conference's sports information directors.

This week's honors recognize a freshman sprinter who climbed the national leaderboards in Ohio and a junior thrower who proved his elite status against Division I competition at the historic Drake Relays.
