The Gopher duo won the Big Ten Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week Awards
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota men's track and field team swept the Big Ten Weekly awards, taking home both the Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week and Big Ten Field Athlete honors.
Devin Augustine took home the Big Ten Men's Track Athlete of the Week award. He put together an impressive weekend in the sprints as he set a school record in the 200m Friday, posting a second-place result of 20.37 seconds. That was the sixth-fastest time in the NCAA this spring and topped the school record by 0.7 seconds. He followed up that performance by nearly breaking another record Saturday in the 100m. The junior won the race with a personal-best time of 10.08 seconds, just 0.01 off the Gophers' all-time mark, and was the top time by anyone in the Big Ten Conference this season.
Charles Godfred took home the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week honor. He continues to shine in his freshman campaign and broke a 29-year-old school record in the long jump by nearly three full inches Friday at the 44 Farms Team Invitational at Texas A&M. The native of Nigeria leaped 8.19m (26-10.5) to place second in the event with the nation's second-best jump of the year.
The Gophers continue the outdoor season April 11-13 in Azusa, Calif., at the Bryan Clay Invite hosted by Azusa Pacific.
