LONG BEACH, Calif. – For the second consecutive season
Lilian Turban took home Big West Championship Field Athlete of the Meet honors following her all-around strong performance at last weekend's conference championship meet.
Turban totaled 16 points across three different field events to put up over one-third of the Hawai'i team total for the meet. The Rainbow Wahine placed eighth as a team with 47 points.
The senior turned in a runner-up finish in the high jump to put up eight points, clearing 1.78m (5-10). She matched champion Zharia Taylor of UC Irvine in clearance height but lost out to Taylor due to having three more failed attempts.
Turban added five points to the team total in the javelin, coming in fourth with a toss of 46.03m (151-0) on her third attempt. She also placed sixth in the shot put with a mark of 14.61m (47-11.25) to cap off her scoring for the meet with three points.
The native of Tallinn, Estonia will now turn her attention to the NCAA First Round next week in Fayetteville, Ark.
