Western Carolina sophomore pole vaulter Charles Cooley was named the Southern Conference Men's Field Athlete of the Week, league officials announced this afternoon. It is the first weekly honor for Cooley in his Catamount career.
The Morehead City, N.C. native tied for first place in the men's pole vault at the VMI Team Challenge on Saturday as he cleared a personal best height of 4.65 meters (15'3"). His previous personal-best was 4.60 meters (15'1") set at the Tiger Track Classic during the 2019 outdoor season. Cooley's height of 4.65 meters is currently tied for second-best in the Southern Conference for the 2019-20 indoor season.
