DeYoung Named Conference Field Athlete of the Week

Wabash College senior Peter DeYoung (Evansville, IN/Evansville Bosse) has been named the North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the week for the period ending April 14.

DeYoung earned the honor after winning the high jump at the 98th Annual Little State Track and Field Championships on Saturday, hosted by Indiana Wesleyan University. His winning jump of 6-8 met the provisional qualifying mark for the NCAA Division III National Championships. DeYoung also took fourth place in the triple jump with a leap of 44-2, earning the Men's Outstanding Field Performer Award at the meet.

DeYoung has already earned All-American honors in track and field this season. The senior finished fourth in the high jump at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships in March.
