IRVING, Texas - East Carolina junior thrower Eric Frasure was named Conference USA Co-Indoor Track and Field Athlete-of-the-Week for his performance in last weekend's Gator Invitational according to a release from the league media relations office Tuesday afternoon.
Frasure, who shared the honor with UTEP sprinter Daniel Ward, won his second consecutive weight throw title with a toss of 19.70 meters at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Fla., Saturday. The throw also marked the second straight week in which the junior provisionally qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships after recording a season- and Conference USA-best throw of 20.11 meters Jan. 14 at the Virginia Tech Invitational.
In addition, the Hopewell (Charlotte) High School product turned in an eight-place standing in the shot put event with an effort of 15.70 meters last week.
The weekly league honor marked the first of Frasure's career.
