Anderson Earns Horizon League's Weekly Honor for Second Time

    Youngstown -- Youngstown State junior thrower Bethany Anderson has been named the Horizon League Women's Track and Field Athlete of the Week for the second this season, the League announced Wednesday.
    Anderson, a native of Jamestown, N.Y., broke her own school record and won the weight throw Saturday at the All-Ohio Championships with a distance of 60 feet, 10 inches.
    The distance was 3.7.75" further than the second-place finisher, and she now ranks first on the League's top performances chart by just under 10 feet.
    Anderson also finished seventh in the shot put at the All-Ohio Championships, and she added a third-place mark in the weight throw a day earlier at the Findlay Open.
    Anderson was also named Athlete of the Week on Jan. 17. She is the third different Penguin earn the honor, and YSU has claimed either the men's or women's accolade in four of the five weeks.
    YSU will compete at the Zips Open on Friday and the Kent State Tune-Up on Saturday.
