ICCAC Athlete of the Week Honors for Rhazouani and Tibbolo

Chakib Cherkaoui Rhazouani – Iowa Central – Freshman – Mile
Chakib Cherkaoui Rhazouani ran his first ever Indoor Track and Field Meet this past week and excelled, hitting a national qualifying mark in the Mile with a 4:15.56 time. His converted time was 4:12.34 and with that is the third person to hit the qualification mark this season. Rhazouani finished the Mile in first place at the Battle of the Hive meet, a full nine second ahead of his nearest competition. The next meet for Rhazouani and the Tritons will be this Friday at the Bill Bergan Open hosted by Iowa State University.

Maeva Goune Tibbolo – Iowa Central – Freshman – Long Jump
Early into the Indoor Track and Field season, Maeva Goune Tibbolo is the only long jumper to have hit the national qualification standard, and therefore, leads the nation. The Trion freshman at the Battle in the Hive meet jumped for 6.03 meters, good for third best all-time in the Iowa Central record books. She also posted jumps of 5.99 and 5.97, all of which would have won the event handily against last weekend's competition. An impressive start to the season for the freshman from Lens, France.
