STORRS, Conn. - UConn senior Daniel Claxton (Nesconset, N.Y.) was named the BIG EAST Men's Field Athlete of the Week honor after his performance last weekend at LSU.
Claxton had his best outing of the outdoor season, clearing the bar at 2.06 meters in the high jump to place fourth overall at the LSU Joe May Invitational. He leads the BIG EAST and is 73rd on the national list.
For the women, junior Patricia Mroczkowski (Berlin, Conn.) continues her stranglehold on the top field athlete honor with the 10th-best high jump mark in the nation this season. The junior eclipsed the bar at 1.83 meters at the LSU Joe May Invitational, once again setting a personal best.Â
The Huskies will be hosting the two-day UConn Northeast Challenge this weekend at the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex.
