LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) – UNLV track & field's Jonon Young was named the Mountain West's Field Athlete of the Week following her performances in the long jump and triple jump at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays.
 
The native of Carson, California, began her visit to the Lone Star State with a fourth-place finish in the long jump 'B' with a distance of 20-0.5 (6.11m) Saturday. One day later, she took fifth in the triple jump 'A' with a wind-legal measurement of 43-3.25 (13.19m). Moreover, her triple jump ranks as the fifth best in the country.
 
This is the second instance during the 2021 outdoor campaign that Young has been named the MW's Field Athlete of the Week, as she earned the designation on March 9. She was a recipient of the award during the 2021 indoor season, too.
