Demarco Hernandez of Emmanuel and Joshua Faison of Mount Olive Selected Men's Outdoor Track & Field Weekly Award Winners
GREENVILLE, S.C. - Demarco Hernandez of Emmanuel and Joshua Faison of Mount Olive have collected the weekly honors for Conference Carolinas outdoor track & field for the week ending April 9, 2023.
Hernandez was selected as the Track Athlete of the Week, while Faison continued his historic outdoor season with another Field Athlete of the Week honor.
A junior from Commerce, Georgia, Hernandez posted a strong time of 14:45.98 in the 5000m this past weekend at the Flames Invitational. The time is the second-best this outdoor season in the 5000m in Conference Carolinas.
A 6-foot-5 senior thrower from Clayton, North Carolina, Faison broke the conference and school record in the discus while also reaching an NCAA provisional standard after a toss of 56.05 meters. He placed second in a highly competitive field finishing behind Robbie Otal of Duke, who was an NCAA Division I USTFCCCA All-America recipient in the event in 2022. Faison continues to rank second in Division II in the discus and became just the second student-athlete to exceed 56.00 meters this season. He is the only thrower in the Southeast Region to hit an NCAA mark in the event this season.
