RICHARDSON - Texas A&M University-Commerce track and field athletes Josh Boateng and Rashard Clark have won Lone Star Conference Athlete of the Week honors for the final week of the regular season, as announced by the league offices on Wednesday.

Boateng - a junior from St. George's, Grenada - wins LSC Athlete of the Week honors for the fifth time this season. Boateng won the USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week, continuing to climb the NCAA Division II record book with his performance in the ring at the ACU Oliver Jackson Twilight. Boateng recorded a best mark of 200-1 (61.00m) to win the discus, which made him the fourth-best all-time performer in Division II history. The mark would also sit sixth currently at the Division I level and was the fourth-best performance by a collegiate athlete this past weekend. Along with leading the nation in the discus, Boateng is also fourth overall in the shot put, and has set the Grenadian national record in both events.

Clark - a senior from Los Angeles, Calif. - wins LSC Athlete of the Week honors for the second time this season. Clark posted the LSC's fastest 200 meter time this season, winning the event at the ACU Oliver Jackson Twilight at 20.76 seconds. It was the fastest time in Division II this week, and the third-fastest time in Division II this season.

The Lions will participate in the 2019 Lone Star Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Portales, N.M., this Thursday through Saturday.
