DSU’s Kevin Jenkins Named NSAA Men’s Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Week

The North Star Athletic Association has named Dakota State’s Kevin Jenkins as its Men’s Indoor Track Athlete-of-the-Week. It’s the second week in a row that a Trojan was selected for the honor. Last week, SenQuavius Johnson was selected.

Jenkins ran a time of 8.37 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles prelims, which was a NAIA ‘B’ Provisional qualifying standard time for the indoor track & field national championships in the South Dakota State D2 Open at Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex. The senior had the fourth fastest time in the prelims and finished at the top of any NAIA participants.

DSU goes to Yankton, SD this weekend for the two-day Mount Marty (S.D.) Invitational.
