Colorado State claims its second field athlete of the week award of the outdoor season

By: Micah DiMatteo

FORT COLLINS – Colorado State track and field thrower Klaire Kovatch was awarded Mountain West women's field athlete of the week for her performance at the Jerry Quiller Classic.

Kovatch recorded a personal best in the discus, throwing a conference best 59.55-meters/195-feet-4. She moves to sixth all time in the Colorado State record book, behind a myriad of former NCAA national qualifiers.

The Montana native ranks fifth in the NCAA, just eight feet behind Alabama's Joyce Oguma who leads the nation. Kovatch also ranks second in the discus in the west region.

Kovatch made a trip to the National Championships last season but failed to record a mark. She sits comfortably in the threshold for the NCAA West Qualifiers, with a chance to make it in the hammer throw as well where she currently ranks 46th in the NCAA.
