CHARLOTTE, N.C. – On Wednesday afternoon, the Big South Conference announced the women's track and field athletes of the week, naming High Point University's Ashlyn Giles as the Field Athlete of the Week. Giles collected her second consecutive Field Athlete of the Week award to start the outdoor season. 

Giles opened the weekend up for the women last Thursday in the shot put and won the event with a program and Big South record mark of 16.56m just one week after setting both records herself. She continued to dominate in the throwing events and placed sixth in the discus with a 50.45m throw on her second launch.

High Point hosts the annual VertKlasse Meeting on Thursday, April 2 through Friday, April 3. Fans can watch on ESPN+ both days and follow along with livestats at flashresults.com/.
