KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kaleo Wellman of Bushnell University has been named the NAIA Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week. He was selected based on his performances from March 3-10 and was chosen from a pool of conference/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated group nominees.
Wellman, a sophomore jumper from Lebanon, Ore., kept his momentum after his recent NAIA Indoor National Runner-up finish. He finished first out of 34 in the long jump with a mark of 7.33m to reach an NAIA “B” Standard at the Rich Allen Classic. His jump set a new school record and currently ranks at the top of the NAIA this season.
Next up, the Beacons are set to compete at the LCC Open this weekend.
