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 at the NJCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Lubbock, TX.

Nathan finished 4th in the nation in the men's high jump, earning 1st Team All-American Honors while setting a new school record of 6 feet, 8 ¼ inches.

"Nathan is very focused on what he wants to achieve in the high jump. I could tell at practice the day before that everything was coming together, and he proved it on the big stage. He got through the initial heights without a miss and made history as Hawkeye's newest All-American. I expect him to continue his run during the outdoor season," said Head Coach Scott Roberts.
