The awards just keep coming for senior standout Justin Sievert (Wyoming, MI/ New Paltz (NY). Sievert earned the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association's “Field Performer of the Meet” by winning both the discus and shot put at last weekend's championship meet, which was held at Rensselaer. Sievert, who also won the award during the UCAA's Indoor Championship Meet (for the second year in a row) the weekend of February 15, captured the discus with a throw of 45.10 meters and captured the shot put with a throw of 16.65.
It marks the second consecutive season that Sievert has captured the outdoor field events' “Most Valuable” honor. Last spring he won the award after winning both the shot (15.40 meters) and the discus (39.04).
