MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Point Park (Pa.) University freshman Emma Pavelek was named River States Conference Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week presented by Brown & Brown Insurance for her performance March 21-27.

Pavelek, from Beaver, Pa., won the high jump at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational to earn the honor. The NAIA national runner-up during the indoor season had a leap of 1.63 meters to take first place.

That is the top height in the RSC so far this outdoor season, and it ranks sixth in the NAIA. She just missed the NAIA qualifying minimum of 1.64 as the meet progression had the next height go up to 1.68 meters.

Point Park will be at the West Liberty Invitational April 2.
