BOISE, Idaho – Three Boise State track and field student-athletes earned Mountain West Athlete of the Week honors following record-setting performances in Washington, Jan. 15.
Senior Jonathan Shields was named the MW Men's Track Athlete of the Week. Shields competed in the 3,000-meters at the UW Indoor Preview in Seattle.
His time of 7:54.23 is the third-fastest time in the country and the second-fastest mark in Boise State history.
On the women's side, Junior Dafni Georgiou also earned MW Track Athlete of the Week honors.
Georgiou broke her own school record in the preliminaries of the 60-meter hurdles at the Cougar Classic in Spokane. Her blistering time of 8.47 bested her previous record from 2020 (8.48) and set a facility record. It is also the fastest mark in the MW this season.
Maggie Larson was tabbed as both the MW Women's Field Athlete of the Week and the MW Freshman of the Week.
The Maple Lake, Minn., native captured Boise State's second individual title of the day, and the first of her collegiate career, jumping a personal-best 12.03m in the triple jump. The mark is the second-longest in the conference this season.
Larson also notched a fourth-place finish in the women's long jump (5.45m).
Following a weekend off, the Broncos will split their squad between Texas and Washington for the Texas Tech Invitational and Washington Invitational, Jan. 28-29.
