NEW ORLEANS, La. (May 22) – Junior track and field standout Jacob Harker (Lilly, Pa. / Bishop Carroll) repeated as a United States Track & Field and Cross Country Association all-region honoree in the shot put. Harker earned the honor after finishing seventh in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
 
Harker set the seventh-place mark of 15.34 meters at the Westminster Invitational on April 10. That heave, which also broke the program record, was just .04 meter behind the number-six distance and 0.1 meter behind the number-five distance.
 
This award was just the latest in a highly successful outdoor season for Harker, who won multiple individual titles, including his second-straight Presidents' Athletic Conference crown. He was also lauded as the PAC Men's Field Athlete of the Week on April 21.
