Following a record-setting weekend, University of Delaware junior Sarah Hillman has been named the Colonial Athletic Association women’s field athlete of the week.

Hillman was outstanding on Saturday as UD hosted and dominated the annual Delaware Open at Stuart and Suzanne Grant Stadium. She shattered two school records that she already owned as she won the shot put with a toss of 47-1.5 and captured the discus competition with a throw of 171-6. Her toss in the shot put is the second best throw among CAA athletes this spring while her toss in the discus is tops among CAA performers and ranks 34th among all NCAA performers.

UD picked up 197 total points, easily outdistancing runner-up Towson with 66 points. Monroe College was third with 44 points followed by Coppin State and Temple in the 15-team field.

Also honored by the CAA this week were Elon senior Kimberly Johansen and James Madison sophomore Meredith Willis as CAA women’s track athletes of the week and Towson junior Ksenia Safonova as CAA women’s co-track athlete of the week.

UD will return to action this Saturday when the Blue Hens travel to compete in the Towson Invitational.
