Makayla Akers of Eastern Oregon has been named the Red Lion Women’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week.
Akers, a freshman from Pendleton, Ore., has already qualified for nationals with an “A” standard mark and improved her top distance in the Javelin throw by over a meter and a half with the top throw of 42.71 meters. The long throw also bumped her up to No. 3 all-time in the EOU record books as she placed second in the NNU Invitational.
