MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis Track & Field graduate student Cole Riddle was named American Athletic Conference (AAC) Men's Field Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday afternoon.
Riddle, a Surprise, Ariz., native, earned the honor after a meet-winning performance in the pole vault at the PNC Lenny Lyles Invitational. Riddle's AAC-leading mark of 5.58m (18'3.75") was enough to break his own school record that he set on Jan. 21 at the Vanderbilt Invitational. It was a lifetime personal-best clearance for Riddle (indoors and outdoors) and currently ranks No. 8 in the NCAA.
