Male Athlete of the Week – Nathan McFarland

RedTail Track and Field's Nathan McFarland has been named the Scheels Male Athlete of the Week after a record-breaking performance in the high jump.

Nathan set a meet record, school record, and hit a national qualifying mark with a jump of 2.03m (6-08). His performance ranks as the 11th best mark in the nation. He also had strong attempts at 2.08m, which would have placed him in the top three nationally.

"Nathan has been on the verge of a performance like this all season. I'm very pleased that he was able to put it all together for this meet. I believe he can hit that 2.08m mark at Regionals or Nationals," said head coach Scott Roberts.

Nathan McFarland is originally from Colo, IA.
