GREENSBORO, N.C., - Joshua Davis of NC State's track and field team was named the ACC Men's Field Performer of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Â
Davis recorded a pair of second-place finishes in weight throw competitions last weekend. He opened the weekend with a toss of 66-3.25 (20.20m) in the Virginia Tech challenge before throwing the second-best mark in his career at the Kent Taylor Invite. The redshirt-sophomore finished as the top collegiate athlete and second overall with a throw of 68-3.75, marking just the second time in his career that he has cracked the 68-foot mark. Davis' throw at the Kent Taylor Invite would rank 27th in the nation if he did not already own the NCAA's 24th-best toss.
Â
This season Davis has broken the weight throw school record and improved on his PR from last season by more than five feet.
Â
He will be back in action at the ACC Indoor Championships Thursday night. Davis enters the event as the fourth seed.
