The honours keep on coming for New Westminster’s Nina Schultz.
Fresh off of setting a new Canadian under-20 national record for heptathlon and winning a major NCAA Big 12 track event, the 18-year-old track star was named the Big 12’s Female track and field athlete of the week.
Schultz registered a new personal best score of 6,021 points en route to winning the Jim Click Combined Events meet 10 days ago.
A freshman at Kansas State, Schultz set personal bests in the 100-metre hurdles, shotput, 200m, long jump, javelin and 800m events. Her score also helped Kansas State jump 11 spots in the NCAA team rankings, climbing to 15th place.
