KENNESAW, GA. – Kennesaw State's
Jordan Gray was tabbed the ASUN Conference Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Wek following her performance in the heptathlon at the Joe Walker Invitational the conference announced Wednesday.
Gray won the heptathlon with a school record 5733 points. The 5733 points rank her number three in the NCAA this outdoor season. She won all four of the heptathlon field events during the two-day meet while posting top 10 program-best marks in all seven events. She had a personal-best and new school-record throw of 37.04m (121'6.50) in the heptathlon javelin to win the event. The redshirt-sophomore set the heptathlon school record winning the shot put with a toss of 12.55m (41' 2.25). The Ball Ground, Georgia native also won the long jump after leaping 5.54m (18'2.25m) and the high jump after clearing 1.71m (5'7.25).
"Here's the great thing about Jordan, she competed hard and has a well-deserved number three national ranking and new school records, but she left a lot of points on the track," Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Coach
Andy Eggerth said. "She and I both expect her to score well over 5500 points in her next heptathlon, and she's already been invited to international competition."
Gray and the Owls will travel to Gainesville, Florida to compete in the Pepsi Florida Relays March 30 – April 1 at the James G. Pressly Stadium at Percy Beard Track.
