MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee sophomore Brittany Cox was voted the Sun Belt Female Field Athlete of the Week on Tuesday after regionally qualifying in the shot put over the weekend at the Yellowjacket Invitational.
Cox regionally qualified in the shot put in the rain-shortened Yellowjacket Invite on Saturday, placing third with a personal-best mark of 48-3.5. The mark tops the Sun Belt this season.
The Antioch, Tenn., native also ranks third in the SBC in the hammer throw with a mark of 161-1.
It is the second SBC Field Athlete of the Week accolade for the Blue Raiders in two weeks after Sarah Nambawa claimed the award on March 25. Cox is just the fourth different female to claim a Field AOW honor since Middle Tennessee joined the Sun Belt eight years ago.
The men's and women's teams will both participate in the Tiger Track Classic this weekend in Auburn, Ala.
