Aaron Merrill Named Horizon League Athlete of the Week

    Indianapolis -- Youngstown State sophomore Aaron Merrill has been named the Horizon League Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
    Merrill, a native of Leetonia, Ohio, hit the NCAA Regional automatic qualifying standard in the shot put in YSU's first outdoor meet of the season.
    The sophomore placed second among collegiate throwers and third overall with his school-record mark of 55-2 3/4. He joins Jarrod Davis (2006) and Bethany Anderson (2007, 2008) as the only throwers in school history to automatically qualify for the regional meet.
    Merrill was also named the league's athlete of the week during the 2008 indoor season on Feb. 20.
