ST. LOUIS – Senior high jumper Kameesha Smith and redshirt-junior thrower Logan Calvin swept the Missouri Valley Conference Field Athlete of the Week awards after they both jumped into the NCAA top-25 with their performances at SIU's Don DeNoon Dual over the weekend.
Smith opened her senior campaign with a huge personal-best mark, clearing 1.80 meters (5-10.75 ft.), winning the high jump and continuing her winning streak in the high jump that dates back to Jan. 25, 2020. The last time that Smith didn't win the high jump at a meet was at the 2019 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships (June 5-8, 2019) where she placed 12th overall and earned Second Team All-American honors.
