University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa junior Tara Wyllie earned Big West Field Athlete of the Week honors after posting a conference-leading mark in the triple jump at the Stanford Invitational, April 4–5.
Wyllie improved upon her No. 2 outdoor triple jump mark in school history by posting a jump of 12.93m (42-5.25) to place fourth in the invitational section at Stanford. She now leads the Big West in the event by .08m and came just .09m shy of the school record set by Amanda Alvarez in 2013.
She also ranks 26th nationally in the triple jump and 16th in the west region.
It’s the second time that Wyllie has earned Big West Field Athlete of the Week honors.
