NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma sophomore Brittany Borman was named the Big 12 Track and Field Athlete of the Week for the second time this outdoor season the Big 12 Conference announced Tuesday. The honor comes after Borman won titles in both the javelin and discus at last week's Sooner Invitational. With the honor, Borman becomes just the second female throws athlete in Big 12 history to earn multiple Athlete of the Week honors in the same season.
The announcement also gave the Oklahoma women's team its fourth Big 12 Athlete of the Week distinction in the six first weeks of the outdoor season, tying Texas Tech (2008) and Kansas State (2002) for the Big 12 record for most female honors in a season.
