Bookout Big 12 Athlete of the Week
January 23, 2007 | Track and Field
IRVING, Texas It does not take long for Kevin Bookout to stand out.
Bookout was named the Big 12 Men's Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week by the conference office Tuesday for his performance at the Razorback Invitational last weekend.
The 6-8, 250-pound senior dominated the shot put competition at his first collegiate indoor meet, winning with a distance of 61 feet, 5.00 inches (18.72 meters).
The mark met the NCAA Championships provisional qualifying standard and currently ranks as the fourth best shot put in the nation.

The Stroud, Okla., native's mark put him second on OU's all-time performance list for indoor shot put. He is also second on OU's outdoor shot put list.
Prior to his indoor track and field debut, Bookout spent the past four winters on OU's basketball team and has also competed during the outdoor track and field season. He was a three-time weekly award winner in men's basketball and one time for his outdoor track and field performances.
Texas Tech sophomore distance runner Sally Kipego of Marakwet, Kenya, was the women's honoree.
Select members of OU's men's and women's track and field teams compete at the adidas Classic, hosted by the University of Nebraska, in Lincoln on Saturday, Jan. 20.
