RICHARDSON - For the third consecutive week, Texas A&M University-Commerce's Josh Boateng has been named the Lone Star Conference co-Field Athlete of the Week.

In the discus throw at the Angelo State David Noble Relays, Boateng (St. George's, Grenada) continued to improve on his Division II-best mark, winning the event at 194-9 (59.37 meters). His launch broke the Grenadian national record by 2.45 meters. The previous record of his home nation had been set in 2004.

Boateng has improved on a nation-best mark in the discus in each of the last three weeks and also ranks in the top five nationally in the shot put.
