AUGUSTA, Ga. - Following her stellar performance at the DI Weems Baskin meet this past weekend, the Peach Belt Conference awarded Maisonne Jones with USCB track and field's first-ever PBC Field Athlete of the Week honor with her showing in the women's long jump.

Jones, who just competed in the long jump at the meet at the University of South Carolina, turned heads with an impressive result - 5.84m. She finished in fifth place and already hit a NAIA A Standard, so she has already qualified for the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championship. More impressively, she has the longest jump in the Peach Belt Conference this year, by over two feet, and is the 12th-longest in NCAA Division II.

Jones and the entire track and field teams will be back in action from Thursday-Saturday, as they travel to Daytona Beach, Fla. to compete in a familiar meet - the Spikes Classic. The three-day meet is hosted by Embry Riddle.
