LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – For the second time in as many weeks, Mansfield University track and field senior Rob Robbins earned Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Field Athlete of the Week for his Javelin throw of 69.40 meters at the LHU Qualifiers, the conference office announced on Wednesday afternoon, May 4.

Robbins took first place in the Javelin as he improved his Mansfield record by 1.26 meters, and also sets a new facility record at Lock Haven, which had previously been 67.18 meters. That mark moves Robbins up to fifth nationally and keeps him 10.34 meters ahead of the next athlete in the PSAC.

Robbins already qualified for the NCAA Championships with his qualifying mark of 68.14 at Shippensburg's Paul Kaiser Classic last Saturday. The senior earned his first Athlete of the Week as a Mountaineer following that meet.

The Mounties travel to Shippensburg University to compete in the PSAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships Thursday – Saturday, May 6 – 8.

The NCAA DII Outdoor Track and Field Championships will be held at Grand Valley State from May 27 – May 29.
