TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Fresno Pacific's Brianna Green, Multi's, 5-6, Sr., St. Augustine, Fla.                
Fresno Pacific's Brianna Green cracked two NCAA top 10 lists last week, one with a little help from her friends. The senior from Florida skimmed the 400 hurdles in 1:00.70, the third fastest time in the country this year. She finished third in a loaded field at the Stanford Invitational and the time was a lifetime best for the senior. She then teammed with three other Sunbirds to record a time of 3:43.97 in the 4x400 relay, the seventh best time at the Division II level this season and the sixth fastest time in the FPU record books. The College of the Redwoods transfer ran the second leg of the four-lap race.

FIELD ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Academy of Art's Maire-Jeanne Ourega, Jumps, 5-7, Jr., L'Hay-les-Roses, France
Academy of Art's Marie-Jeanne Ourega flew to a mark of 19-7 in the long jump at the Texas Relays in Austin. It was the first outdoor competition of the season in the long jump for Ourega and she promptly established the second longest leap of the early season in Division II on just her second jump. The defending national champion in the long jump and 2023 indoor long jump is also an All-American in the triple jump and was the 2023 NCAA West Region Field Athlete of the Year.
