George, a junior, earned the Men's Field Student-Athlete of the Week honor after posting the country's second-best long jump this past weekend at the Texas State Bobcat Classic. George's leap of 7.99m (26'2.75") was a new career best and is tops in the Sun Belt this season. In addition to the long jump, George also helped lead the Bobcats to the top spot in the SBC and a school-record-breaking time in the 4x100-meter relay (40.05) and ran a career best in the 200m (21.29).

Porter ran career-best times in three separate races. He clocked the fastest time in the Sun Belt in the 200-meter dash, at 21-flat. He led the men’s 4x100-meter relay team to the top spot in the Sun Belt, a meet victory, and a school-record 40.05. Finally, he competed in a third event, running the 100-meter dash in 10.51. Porter took home the Men's Track Student-Athlete of the Week honor.

Krenek, a freshman, ran the fastest time in the Sun Belt in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.64. She also ran the 100-meter dash in 12.10 and participated on the 4x100-meter relay team that won the meet and took the top spot in the Sun Belt with a time of 45.04. Krenek was named the Women's Track Student-Athlete of the Week.
