RICHARDSON - Tarleton's Nolan Eubanks was named this week's Lone Star Conference Field Athlete of the Week according to a release from the league office on Thursday.

Eubanks out-threw the entire collegiate competition in the discus event at the 2010 McMurry Relays this past Thursday, with an NCAA Division II automatic qualifying mark of 54.75m. He beat out his next competitor by 2.26m and two other throwers who tossed provisional qualifying marks. Eubanks' discus toss is the farthest throw amongst NCAA Division II athletes so far this season. Overall he finished third in the event behind two unattached competitors and he also finished fifth in the shot put with a throw of 15.65m.

This marks the second consecutive week a field athlete from Tarleton has been honored with the weekly award. Casey Keeter earned the same accolade last week. This is Tarleton's third weekly honor overall.
