RICHMOND, Va. - William & Mary freshman Uriah Harris was named the CAA Field Athlete of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday.
 
Harris, who was named the field athlete of the week twice during the indoor season, took home the first accolade of the outdoor campaign behind a strong performance at the Phoenix Invitational on March 13. The Richmond, Va., native won the discus with a toss of 55.83m (183-2) on his penultimate attempt. It ranks as the best mark in the country this season.
 
His discus throw also topped the previous W&M freshman record of 52.60m (172-7) from KJ Cook in 2018. It is the third-best in program history, trailing only Taylor Frenia's 58.70m (192-7) at the 2017 CAA Championships and Cook's 56.73m (186-1) at the 2019 NCAA Championships. Harris placed third in the hammer throw as well at the Phoenix Invitational with a mark of 50.08m (164-3).
