NEW ORLEANS, La. – Redshirt junior Maggie Ewen has been named the Women's National Field Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the 2017 NCAA Division I Outdoor season.
At the NCAA Outdoor Championships this past weekend, Ewen totaled a meet-high 21 points behind her first championship in the hammer throw, a second-place finish in the discus, and sixth in the shot put. Her winning hammer throw of 73.32m (240-7) broke the 10-year NCAA record.
Earlier in the season, the St. Francis, Minnesota-native broke the American collegiate and Pac-12 record on two different occasions before ultimately setting the new collegiate record.
