Reinhart named CCAC Field Athlete of the Week

CHICAGO --- First-place finishes and hitting the 'B' standard during the seven-day period ending Jan. 25 have earned Saint Xavier University's Sean Harris (Blue Island, Ill.) and St. Ambrose University's Joe Reinhart (Girard, Ill.) Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week honors, the league office announced on Wednesday.

Reinhart used a pair of first-place efforts to garner the field recognition. He won both the weight throw and shot put events at SAU's own Fighting Bee Invitational on Saturday with distances of 17.26 and 14.83 meters, respectively.

One day earlier, at the University of Iowa Larry Wieczorek Invitational, the junior produced his 'B' mark with his school-recording-breaking weight throw of 18.47 meters. That placed him eighth among 27 participants, including individuals from NCAA I programs. The toss was also the longest in the conference this winter.
