PORTLAND, Ore. - The GNAC released their weekly award winners for March 18-24 on Monday, with Northwest Nazarene's
Laurenz Waldbauer receiving Men's Field Athlete of the Week honors for track & field.
Waldbauer unleashed a javelin throw of 232' 0" (70.71 meters), putting his name atop the GNAC performance list and ranking him third in Division II track and field in the event.
The 2022 GNAC champion in the event, Waldbauer was 5' 6" short of his PR of 237' 6" which ranks second in GNAC history. The Nighthawks' sophomore now sits behind just Pittsburg State's Caleb Calvin (243' 0") and Texas A&M Kingsville's Markim Felix (237' 8") on the 2024 NCAA performance list.
Waldbauer and the Nighthawks return to action on April 5 when they head to Spokane for the Whitworth Peace Invitational.
