CLEVELAND, Ohio – After a dominate performance in the heptathlon at the Gibson Invitational last weekend, the Mid-American Conference has announced Kenli Nettles as the Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week.Â
For her first heptathlon of the season, Nettles opened with a big win, collecting a personal best score of 5,517 points. In a seven-event competition, Nettles marked two other PRs after throwing 11.51 meters in the shot put and finishing in 24.65 in the 200-meter dash.
