GOPHERS COLLECT WEEKLY AWARDS ON APRIL 10
Minnesota collected both weekly men's B1G awards on April 10, as Devin Augustine won the Big Ten Men's Track Athlete of the Week while Charles Godfred took home Big Ten Men's Field Athlete of the Week.
Augustine put together an impressive weekend in the sprints as he set a school record in the 200m, 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.
Godfred continued 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.
