Freshman named Big 12 Athlete of the Week

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Mason Finley was named the co-male Big 12 Athlete of the Week.

Finley recorded the best mark of his career in the discus at the Arkansas Twilight Meet last weekend. He won first place with a distance of 197 feet and three inches. With that mark, he currently sits second in the Big 12. Finley ranks fourth all-time at Kansas.

Finley also took home first place in the shot put at the Arkansas Twilight Meet with a Big 12-leading throw of 63 feet and 2.25 inches. That mark ranks third in the NCAA and fifth at Kansas.
