Sophomore Alyssa Wilson from the UCLA women's track & field team has been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for May 6-12.
Wilson compiled 26 points at the 2019 Pac-12 Track & Field Championships en route to being named the Pac-12 Female Athlete of the Meet. She had the highest point total of any athlete, male or female. Wilson won her first Pac-12 individual title, which was her final event of the meet on a day in which she threw in three separate events in a span of eight hours. She won the discus with a mark of 56.93m (186-9) to muster 10 points and also garnered second-place finishes in both the shot put (17.59m; 57-8.5) and hammer (67.78m; 222-4). Wilson is set to compete in all three events at the NCAA West Regionals, and she will look to earn tickets to the NCAA Championships in all three events for the second-consecutive season.
This is Wilson's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week award this season and in her career.
