CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced the first week of the Women's Indoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week on Wednesday, December 10. High Point University had two athletes make the list, Brianna Malone was named the Women's Track Athlete of the Week and Zamesha Myle was named the Women's Field Athlete of the Week.
 
Myle opened her first meet with the Panthers at the Liberty Kickoff with a record-setting start as she placed first in the triple jump and shattered the previous program record with a 13.04 meter leap, which is the third best mark in Big South history. The graduate transfer from Ohio State also placed fourth in the 60m dash with a sprint of 7.56.
 
Malone competed at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener at Boston University on Saturday afternoon and kicked things off in the women's 3000m. In heat one, she battled to the front group in the last couple laps and finished seventh in the heat with a 9:11.64 time in front of runners from Villanova, Yale, Washington and N.C. State. Malone placed seventh overall and was two seconds shy of her own school record.
 
The Panthers will have a month off of competition before returning from Christmas break to compete at Tryon Intercollegiate Opener in Tryon, N.C. on January 10. This is the same facility that the Big South Indoor Championships will be held at in February.
