NEW ORLEANS -- Pittsburg State University's Jack Haukap was selected as the NCAA Division II National Athlete of the Week for men's outdoor track & field Monday (Apr. 13) by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Haukap (Garden Plain, Kan.) put on a show at the UCM Kip & Kirk Mule Relays last Thursday (Apr. 8). 

The senior thrower spun his way into the NCAA DII history books with a 70.26m (230-6) heave. The mark places Haukap No. 9 all-time and is the farthest in the division since 2022. Speaking of divisions, he's currently sitting top-10 in the entire NCAA.

Haukap's mark also established new Pitt State and MIAA records.

This is the eighth time that a male athlete from Pittsburg State has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the outdoor season.
