RIPON, Wisconsin – Dameco Walker of the Ripon men's track and field program has been named Midwest Conference Outdoor Field Performer of the Week as announced by the league on Tuesday afternoon.
 
Walker had a pair of top-15 marks nationally at Saturday's St. Norbert College Invitational. He won the triple jump with a mark of 14.80m, nearly breaking his own school record but settling for the 8th-best mark in DIII. He also won the long jump, doing so with a jump of 7.23m. He now stands tied for 12th in the country in that event and leads the MWC in both events.
 
This is the fourth outdoor honor for Ripon this season. Ben Fisher and Jenny Cortes were both recognized on April 1, while Bridget Finn was honored on April 15.
 
Ripon wraps up the outdoor regular season this Friday, May 2 at the Fox River Showdown hosted by Lawrence.
