The honors just keep rolling in for Kansas State’s Akela Jones after her standout performance in the pentathlon last weekend during the DeLoss Dodds Invitational at Ahearn Field House.
Jones earned her second athlete of the week award in as many days on Wednesday, as she was named the Big 12 Female Athlete of the Week.
The senior was named the USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week on Tuesday by the national track and field organization, marking the second time she has won the award this month.
Jones came just 35 points short of the NCAA pentathlon record last Friday with 4,643 total points in the event.
