Men’s Outdoor- Field
 
Concordia’s Willy Irwin has been chosen the Red Lion Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for March 18-24.
 
Irwin, a sophomore from Clovis, CA., upped his NAIA lead in both the shot put and the discus this week with a pair of wins at the Lewis & Clark Spring Break Open this Saturday. Irwin popped a 61-2 1/4 (18.65m) in the shot put to add almost a full foot of separation over the NAIA's No. 2 thrower while breaking the former outdoor school record of 60-7 1/4 (18.47m) set by 2012 national champion Eric Whalen.
 
Irwin was a double winner on Saturday with a victory in the discus with a season best mark of 179-10 (54.81m). The distance added more than eight feet to his NAIA-leading performance.
 
Honorable Mention: Jordan Hatfield, Corban
