CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa – For the 17th time in his career, UD senior Blaze Murfin has earned American Rivers Conference Track and Field – Field Athlete of the Week. It is the sixth time he has took home the accolade this season, the first of the outdoor season and seventh outdoor honor of his career.

His winning throw in the shot put of 18.11m/59-05 is the top throw in not just the conference, but the all of Division III after the weekend.
