Concordia’s Gabriella Dixson has been chosen the Red Lion Women’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week for April 8-14.
 
Dixson, a senior from Battle Ground, Wash., already the NAIA leader in the discus, moved into the No. 1 spot in the shot put with a season-best toss of 49-7 3/4 which placed first at the Western Oregon John Knight Twilight last week. Dixson entered the week ranked second behind Hasting's (Neb.) Jennifer Maag (48-11 1/2). With a 160-1 (48.80m) in the discus, Dixson placed second overall in the event behind the University of Oregon's Laura Bobek. Meanwhile her fifth-place finish in the hammer was behind a pair of post-collegians, Oregon's Jillian Weir and the 2012 NAIA national champion Sharayah Kenady. Dixson is ranked No. 4 in the NAIA in the hammer in addition to her top makes in the shot and the discus.
