WICHITA—Sidney Sapp and Mason Buckmaster were named the American Athletic Conference's Field Athletes of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.
 
Sapp and Buckmaster earned the honors for their performances in the high jump at the KU-KSU-WSU Triangular.
 
Sapp won the event, clearing 1.75m/5-8.75. She was just six centimeters off her personal-best mark. Her high jump mark now leads the American Athletic Conference and is tied for 25th-best in the country.
 
Buckmaster's high jump competition saw him tie his personal best with a jump that cleared 2.15m/7-0.50. The jump was an indoor personal best and moved him to No. 3 on WSU's all-time indoor performance list. His performance puts him at No. 2 in the conference and No. 21 in the NCAA this season.
 
Buckmaster and Sapp became the first Shocker athletes to claim individual weekly honors this season and the first since Winny Koskei won Athlete of the Week honors for her cross country performance at Pre-Nationals.
 
The Shockers return to action Thursday and Friday at the Jayhawk Classic and Prairie Wolf Invitational.
