Anderson Earns Second Straight Weekly Horizon League Honor

    Youngstown -- Youngstown State junior Bethany Anderson has been named the Horizon League Women's Track and Field Athlete of the Week for the second consecutive week.
    Anderson eclipsed the NCAA Regional qualifying standard in the hammer for the second straight week on Friday morning at the Sea Ray Relays. The Jamestown, N.Y., native posted a mark of 178'2" to fall just four inches short of her school-record set at the Duke Invitational earlier this season. Her effort earned her a third-place finish in the event.
    Anderson, who also earned the weekly honor three times during the most recent indoor campaign, holds the top hammer mark in the Horizon League by more than 18 feet.
    Anderson and the Penguins will compete at the All-Ohio Championships this weekend.
