MONROE, La. – Isaac Grieder from the ULM track & field team and Faith Bohack from the softball program were named Warhawk Male and Female of the Week, respectively, after their standout performances over the weekend.
Grieder posted the Sun Belt Conference's top score this season in the decathlon last week at the prestigious Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. The senior racked up 7,034 which currently ranks seventh in the nation.
The Garland, Texas native earned the invitation to the event for the second consecutive year and topped his point total of 6,396 from last year. Grieder's best event this year was the pole vault where he cleared the bar at 4.80m, his best ever score in the decathlon.
Grieder is the school record holder in the heptathlon and a three-time All-Conference honoree which includes indoor and outdoor seasons. He and the Warhawks will be back in action this weekend when they compete in the SFA Carl Knight Invitational.
It marked Grieder's third career Warhawk of the Week award.
