Iredia Goodness and Jason Bowers sweep the Men’s Mid-South Conference Track & Field athletes of the Week for the Phoenix second straight sweep of weekly honors.
Bowers and Goodness both are freshman competing in their first career track meet this weekend at the Commodore Classic hosted by Vanderbilt.
Goodness won the triple jump event with a new school-record 15.59 meters. He breaks the record set by last year’s triple jump national champion Siband Dumoluhle. 15.59 meters is the farthest triple jump recorded in the NAIA this season, giving him “A” Standards to qualify for the national championship meet in March.
Bowers, the 2022 MSC Cross Country Runner of the Year, continues to show his talent with “A” Standards in the 3000 meter in his first meet. Bowers finished in fourth in the event behind a trio of runners from Alabama with a time of 8:13.63, also a new school-record. The time was the second fastest in the 3000 this season.
This is Goodness’ first career weekly honor and Bowers’ first in track.
The Phoenix are back on the track this weekend at Samford.
