Mills garners inaugural SAC female field athlete of the week accolade

JEFFERSON CITY, Tenn. – Carson-Newman freshman Tiana Mills has been named the South Atlantic Conference Female Field Athlete of the Week following her school-record-breaking performances Saturday at the PowerSox Invitational. 

Mills earned first in the women's long jump and second in the triple jump, breaking the school records for both events. 

Her 18'-2.25" leap in the long jump bested the previous school record by nearly a foot and a half.  Her 35"-11.25" tally in the triple jump was 5.25 inches longer than the previous mark set more than a decade ago. 

This Eagles are in action against in Rome, Ga. at the Rome Relays.
