Utah State University senior Logan Hammer has been recognized as the America First Credit Union USU Student-Athlete of the Week for his performance ending March 1. The selection was made by a panel of media members from across the state.
Hammer secured the Mountain West title in pole vault at the recent Indoor Track and Field Championships, clearing a height of 5.50 meters (18-0.5). This achievement marks his third consecutive indoor pole vault title and his sixth overall gold medal in Mountain West competition. He entered the event at 5.35 meters (17-6.5) with only Colorado State’s Taylor Waters remaining, then cleared his first two attempts to win the championship.
America First Credit Union supports this award by providing direct funding for student-athlete scholarships.
Other nominees for the weekly honor included athletes from men’s basketball, women’s basketball, gymnastics, softball, women’s tennis, and women’s track and field:
