Concordia’s Willy Irwin has been chosen the Red Lion Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for April 8-14.
 
Irwin, a sophomore from Clovis, CA., collected a stadium record in the shot put. The NAIA national leader in the event, Irwin nearly matched his season best which shattered the stadium record at Willamette University last week with a 62-6 (19.05m) at Western Oregon University's McArthur Field on Friday. Irwin, the NAIA indoor national champion, currently ranks No. 23 in the U.S. according to Track & Field News. In the discus, Irwin added to his season best by almost eight feet with a 188-8 (57.46m) toss. The distance remains the No. 2 mark in the NAIA behind Doane's (Neb.) Zack Lindsley (193-2).
 
Honorable Mention: Danny Parks, Southern Oregon
