Larissa Weber Named CACC Rookie Field Athlete Of The Week
Had Strong Performances In A Pair Of Meets Hosted By UMass Last Week
New Haven, Conn.-University of Bridgeport freshman Larissa Weber (Purgstall, Austria) has been selected as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women's Rookie Field Athlete of the Week for her fine performances in meets that took place from April 10 through 16, 2023.
In mid-week at the UMass Multi Meet, she had a strong performance in the heptathlon to solidify her place in the region in that discipline (ranked number four), as she accumulated a total of 3065 points to take ninth place over the two days against mostly Division 1 competition.
On Saturday back at UMass in the Commonwealth Invitational, Weber had a season-best in the women's javelin, as she grabbed fifth place with a toss of 37.00m.
The UB outdoor track and field teams will be back in action this Friday at Eastern Connecticut State University.
