Penn State’s Michael Shuey earns Big Ten Track and Field honor

The Big Ten announced its weekly track and field awards on Wednesday and Penn State’s Michael Shuey was named the conference’s Co-Field Athlete of the Week.

Shuey shared the award with Nebraska’s Nick Percy.

The Nittany Lions javelin hurler finished in first place at the Pac-12 vs. Big Ten Invitational this past weekend. His toss of 247-feet-2 inches fell just more than two feet shy of his school record of 249-5.

Shuey is ranked No. 2 in the NCAA leads the Big Ten with his recent throw.
