Johnson and Kemboi named WAC Athletes of the Week

ARLINGTON, Texas — Utah Valley University's Aaron Johnson and Everlyn Kemboi were named the TicketSmarter WAC Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week after their record-setting performance in California last week. 

Johnson won the long jump at the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate with a school record and WAC season-best mark of 7.92 meters to earn the men's field athlete of the week. His jump also ranks 12th in the nation entering this week's action. Johnson also competed in the 100 at the Bryan Clay Invitational and set the No. 3 time (10.25s) in UVU's top 10 and the fifth-best time in the WAC this season. 

Kemboi continues her impressive season with her third outdoor track athlete of the week award. She also received the honor two times each during both the indoor and cross-country seasons. At last week's Bryan Clay, she set the top time in the country in the 5k (15:20.67), which is also a new school record and the 23rd fastest time in women's NCAA history. Kemboi also set a new school record in the 1,500 over the weekend. 

The Wolverines are in action this week at the BYU Robison Invitational, which began on Wednesday with the decathlon and heptathlon.
