JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. - Carson-Newman track and field's Kevin Snead (Richmond, Va.) and Tori Gaul (Salisbury, N.C.) have repeated as Chick-Fil-A Male and Female Athletes of the Week.
Snead broke his own Carson-Newman record in consecutive days over the weekend, as the sprinter bypassed his previous best in both the preliminary and final segments of the 60m dash. Saturday's first-place finish in the finals segment resulted in a 6.77 second win. The victory came within a strong field which boasted some of the nation's fastest sprinters.
Gaul's first-place finish in the pole vault resulted in a jump into the top-10 for Division II in the event at nine. The 3.65m mark broke her on school record in the event she notched a week ago at the David E. Walker Invitational after lunging 3.55 meters.
