Jacobs named RSC Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for Point Park again
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Point Park (Pa.) University thrower Daniel Jacobs continued his lock on the River States Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week presented by Brown & Brown Insurance. He won the award again for March 21-27, his second time in as many weeks.
Jacobs, from Elizabeth, Pa., hit the NAIA 'A' standard in the javelin for the second week in a row. His toss of 57.09 meters won first place at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational. That was good enough to surpass the NAIA top standard of 57.00 although his win at WVU last week was farther.
Jacobs, who still ranks No. 6 in the country for the javelin, was also ninth in the discus at CMU with a throw of 37.57 meters. Jacobs was busy in the throws as he also placed 20th in the hammer.
Point Park will be at the West Liberty Invitational April 2.
