McCay Earns Second Straight CCAA Field Athlete of the Week Award

Humboldt State University Athletics

Arcata, Calif. - Humboldt State senior Marissa McCay was named the California Collegiate Athletic Association Field Athlete of the Week after her record-breaking performance on Saturday.McCay earned a national automatic qualifying mark as HSU swept the Women's high jump at the Border Battle. Her jump of 5'10" is a personal best and further solidifies her HSU All-Time record, which she last set on March 18th at the Hornet Invite."She is in her personal best this season over last. I think it's also a testament to her high jump coach, Catrina Bindel," says assistant coach Sarah Ingram. "She deserves it. She's worked so hard, not only on strength and fitness, but also on the more challenging technical aspects of the high jump. She's had her share of frustrations with it as well, so it's nice to see her patience has carried her through and to such a huge jump."This is the second time this season McCay has brought home the CCAA  field athlete of the week. Last time she was awarded for her performance in the Chico Twilight meet as she posted a NCAA provisional qualifying mark with her top place finish in the Long Jump.The Jacks are now preparing for the CCAA Conference Championships, which begin May 4th.
