GREENVILLE, S.C. (April 2) – Following a successful weekend in Virginia with multiple victories, the University of Mount Olive track & field program earned a pair of outdoor weekly accolades from the Conference Carolinas on Tuesday, as sophomore Chianel Asoburuenwu was tabbed the Track Athlete of the Week and senior Dorian Tolbert was named the Field Athlete of the Week.

A 5-foot-6 sophomore sprinter, Asoburuenwu earned a pair of event wins and hit two NCAA Provisional Standards this weekend at the Hornet Open. She secured first place in the 100 meters after crossing the line in 11.65 seconds, which moves her into the top 10 in NCAA Division II in the event this season. Additionally, she claimed first place in the 200 meters with a time of 24.16 seconds to hit the NCAA standard for the first time this season.

A senior from Pelham, Alabama, Tolbert secured the event title in the hammer throw with a toss of 55.27 meters on his final attempt of the day while competing in Virginia. He continues to hold the top spot in the Conference Carolinas in the event following a distance of 55.37 meters set earlier this season at UNCW.

The Trojans will return to action next weekend April 5-6 at the Bill Carson Invitational, which will be hosted on the campus of East Carolina.
