EUGENE, Ore. – For the second week in a row, junior Bailey Dell has been named the NAIA National Field Athlete of the Week. She makes history as NCU’s first ever back-to-back national athlete of the week.
Dell improved her season tally to three-for-three on event wins last weekend, claiming that javelin title at the Willamette Invitational. Her throw of 49.52 meters improved her own school record, raised her own NAIA leading distance and was the second-longest throw in the NAIA of the past three seasons.
Dell, who snags NCU’s fifth NAIA Athlete of the Week honor this year, will look to improve her mark even further this weekend at the Stanford Invitational.
