MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Point Park (Pa.) University javelin thrower Daniel Jacobs earned River States Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week presented by Brown & Brown Insurance for April 11-17.
Jacobs, from Elizabeth, Pa., threw the No. 3-ranked javelin toss in the NAIA this weekend. His distance of 62.00 meters placed fourth at the Bucknell Bison Outdoor Classic, an NCAA Division I event. That cleared the NAIA 'A' standard of 57.00, something he's done regularly this season.
Jacobs beat his teammate, Jakob Blatnik, who still ranks No. 1 in the NAIA and placed fifth at Bucknell.
