Higginbotham Recipient of USTFCCCA Accolade

Oskaloosa--Koby Higginbotham (Fr., Knoxville, Iowa, Exercise Science) used his fastest time in the nation to gain the USTFCCCA NAIA National Athlete of the Week honor, announced Monday.

The freshman had a huge effort at the Drake Jim Duncan Invitational last Saturday, placing fourth in a stacked 110-meter hurdle field.  His time of 13.93 seconds not only hit the 'A' standard, but also is the best mark in the NAIA this spring.

The weekly award from USTFCCCA is the first for WPU this year.
