BIRMINGHAM – For the second time in three weeks, Alabama’s Portious Warren earned Southeastern Conference Field Athlete of the Week recognition, the league office announced Tuesday.
The senior earned the honor after a school-record throw at the LSU Invitational that ranks her fifth in the world in the shot put.
Warren won the shot put at the LSU Invitational last Saturday with a monster throw of 61-0.75 (18.61m), the best throw in the NCAA this season by nearly two feet and the school record by more than three feet.
