PORTLAND, Ore. – The Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its weekly awards on Monday afternoon, with Seattle Pacific's
Tawaf Aboudou picking up his first career Field Athlete of the Week award.
"Tawaf is having a great season, putting up exciting marks in both the sprints and the jumps," head coach Karl Lerum said. "Tawaf's best jump on Saturday came 10 minutes after he ran a new personal best in the 200-meters, so I believe that points toward even better results as he enters the middle of his outdoor season."
Aboudou posted his best long jump of his debut outdoor season, clearing 22-11.75 feet (7.00 meters) at the Peyton-Shotwell Invitational last Saturday. That stands as the second-best long jump by a GNAC competitor so far this season. Aboudou picked up his second collegiate long jump victory.
The freshman was the GNAC Indoor Championships high point award winner, winning the long jump, taking second in the triple jump and placing fourth in both the 60-meters and on Seattle Pacific's 4x400-meter relay squad.
Aboudou and the Falcons travel to Spokane, Wash. on Friday for the Whitworth Peace Meet.
