Atlantic Sun Release

KENNESAW, Ga. – Kennesaw State redshirt freshman Jordan Gray earned the Atlantic Sun Co-Women's Track Athlete of the Week Award for her performance at the Virginia Challenge, the conference announced Wednesday, April 27.

"Jordan Gray had a tremendous performance this weekend at the Virginia Challenge," Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Andy Eggerth said. "Her school record heptathlon score surpassed the Atlantic Sun Outdoor Championship meet record and to my knowledge is the third best performance of any A-Sun athlete in conference history.  As only a freshman for outdoor track, Jordan has a very bright future ahead of her!"
  
Competing in her first ever heptathlon, Gray became the first Owl to score over 5,000 points in a heptathlon. She scored a total of 5240 points to finish third overall and as the top collegian in the event. That point total leads the Atlantic Sun by 435 points, is 14^th best in the NCAA East Region and 36^th best in the entire NCAA this outdoor season. Gray tied heptathlon school-record in the 100m hurdles with a time of 14.51.  She also ran a time of 25.72 in the 200m and 2:31.09 in the 800m.

Gray and the Owls will be back on the track April 28-30 at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa.
