Point Park's Davis leaps to River States Conference Field Athlete of the Week
FLORENCE, Ky. -- Point Park University junior Jryi Davis qualified for the NAIA outdoor national championship in the triple jump to win River States Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for March 13-19.
The Bangor, Pa., native had a school-record of 14.50 meters at the Muskingum Muskie Duals March 18 to win the meet and qualify for NAIA outdoor nationals. It was the NAIA "A" standard that was met, qualifying Davis automatically for the national meet in Gulf Shores, Ala., in the end of May.
Point Park's next competition is March 25 at the Cal U Vulcan Early Bird Invitational. Davis has just come off his NAIA indoor All-American status earned at the indoor national championship earlier in the month.
