Men’s Outdoor- Field
 
Concordia’s Willy Irwin has been chosen the Red Lion Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for April 1-7.
 
Irwin, a junior from Clovis, Calif., broke a 45-year old shot put record at the Willamette Invitational with a toss of 62-8 (19.10m) to topple the 1968 former stadium record held by Ken Patera (Portland Track Club).
 
The distance is the best NAIA shot put throw this year by over two feet.  Irwin also upped his season best in the discus with a 180-11 (55.14m) effort, a mark that rests No. 2 on the NAIA performance list.
