Trista Fintel Receives Back-to-Back MAC Field Athlete of the Week Honors
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- For the second consecutive week, Trista Fintel has earned MAC Field Athlete of the Week honors.
It marks the first time since April 12-17 in 2023 where a BGSU field athlete won the honor in two consecutive weeks.
The graduate transfer from Findlay competed at Akron's Al Campbell Invitational and improved on her top 10 mark in BGSU history with a first-place finish in the shot put (15.53m), which is now tied for seventh all-time. The throw was 1.37m further than her second-place competition. Additionally, Fintel recorded a season-best mark in the weight throw (18.24m) that was good for second among the field.
The 2023 Division II indoor shot put national champion's throw ranks first in the MAC, seventh in the Great Lakes Region and 43rd in the NCAA. Her weight throw mark is the second-longest in the MAC and 14th in the region.
