Track & Field Trio Honored as UAA Athletes of the Week

The Emory University track & field trio of graduate students Liam Fost, Maxwell Prizant and junior Annika Urban were named the University Athletic Association Athletes of the Week as announced late Monday afternoon. This represents the second career weekly honor for both Fost and Prizant and the fifth-ever weekly award for Urban.

Fost registered a time of 48.60 in the 400m dash at the Tennessee Challenge to finish in fourth. This marked Fost's second fastest time of the season in the event, moving him to 37th in the nation and first in the conference according to TFRRS following the weekend's action.

Prizant joined Fost in Knoxvile and finished third in the pole vault with a height of 4.42m as he competed primarily against Division I competition. Prizant still sits third in the UAA in the pole vault to this point in the season according to TFRRS.

Urban was in action Friday evening, competing in the 1,500m run at the Montreat College Last One Best One meet in North Carolina, turning in a new PR time of 4:35.38. Urban's time marks the best by an Eagle this season and sits as the sixth best mark in program history. Her time also boosted her to the 23rd fastest time in the nation to this point in the season according to TFRRS.

The Eagles will return to action this Saturday with the second-to-last final chance meet of the season, travelling to Lee University in Cleveland, TN.
