Trevecca Nazarene’s Brandon Laws and Malone’s Duke Taylor were selected Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week on Monday.
Taylor, who has become a familiar name in the Athlete of the Week category with his fifth selection, competed in the Akron Invitational this past weekend.
Taylor competed in two events at the Division 1 meet, finishing seventh in the Gold Division weight throw with a mark of 61’4 (18.69m). Taylor’s throw fell less than a foot short of his school record of 62’1 (18.92m), which was set two weekends ago at the SPIRE Midwest Open.
Taylor also competed in the Gold Division discus competition and finished ninth with a throw of 164’ (49.99m).
