Pringle and Ufodiama Sweep American Weekly Honors
April 08, 2025 | Track & Field
IRVING, Texas - Jocelyn Pringle has been named American Athletic Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week and Kelly Ufodiama Women's Track Athlete of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
Pringle earns her recognition after tossing a personal record of 59.59m in the hammer throw which is the fifth-best mark in program history. Her throw currently ranks 50th in the NCAA.
Ufodiama's accolades come after breaking the program record in the 200m with a time of 22.80 seconds and running the fastest all-conditions time in program history in the 100m in 11.13 seconds. Those times both rank ninth in the NCAA so far this season.
The weekly honor is Pringle's second of her career. Ironically, the other also came in a sweep with Ufodiama in February during the indoor season. For Ufodiama, it is her fourth Athlete of the Week recognition. The 2025 American Athletic Conference Indoor MVP and Freshman of the Year earned weekly honors three times during that historic indoor campaign.
The Pirates will be back in action Thursday through Saturday at the Duke Invitational in Durham.
