NEW ORLEANS, La. – Roberts Wesleyan graduate student pole vaulter Brynn King has repeated as the USTFCCCA Division II Women's National Athlete of the Week, organization officials announced on Tuesday afternoon. King becomes the first NCAA DII female athlete to be named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week four times during the indoor season. She previously earned national weekly honors on December 4, December 11, and January 16. 

Per the USTFCCCA official release, King bettered her own NCAA DII pole vault record twice this past weekend at the Golden Eagle Winter Welcome Back Meet, ultimately to 4.60m (15' 1") to equal the seventh-best performer in collegiate history.

The Red Hawk standout originally upped her all-time best to 4.52m (14' 10") with a first-attempt clearance. After conferring with former Olympic gold medalist and Roberts Wesleyan assistant coach Jen Suhr, King asked the bar to be raised to 4.60m (15' 1"). A clearance there would make her just the ninth woman in collegiate history to top that height. King used all three attempts, but the third time was the charm, as the Duke transfer reached rarefied air.
