Josiah Bernard has been named the Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week for the second straight week, earning the honor by a slim margin as he posted two conference records in the 400m race and the high jump.
Bernard finished third overall in the 400-meter run, but his time of 50.18 second topped his own G-MAC record by over a second (51.35), which he set just a week prior.
In the high jump, Bernard finished in fifth place overall, but once again established a new conference record mark, making a jump of 1.96m or 6’ 5” - topping his previous record of 1.92 meters, which he was tied with teammate Samuel Tvardzik with, by an inch and a half. In his first year, Bernard now has posted the three best heights in conference history, twice tying with Tvardzik.
