Glasper, Summers Earn Heart Track and Field Athlete of the Week Honors

BALDWIN CITY, Kan. - Baker track and field had two student-athletes receive Heart Outdoor Athlete of the Week honors this week with Kameron Glasper being named the Heart Men's Field Athlete of the Week and Alexis Summers being selected as the Heart Women's Track Athlete of the Week.

Glasper, a senior from St. Louis, Mo., became the Wildcats' second national qualifier this outdoor season after clearing the NAIA 'B' standard in the men's discus at Baker's ZK Invite on Saturday. Glasper went 49.68 meters to secure his first trip to the NAIA National Championships and added a runner-up finish in the shot put (14.64m) and a fifth-place outing in the hammer throw (42.08m).

Summers, a sophomore from Kansas City, Mo., swept the women's sprints at BU's second and final home meet this season, clocking a personal-best time in the 100m (12.00) and matching her fastest 200m time with a 24.79. Both marks rank in the top three among conference sprinters with her 12-second 100m time from this weekend sitting at second best.

Both athletes will join the rest of the Wildcats and will head to the 2025 Heart of America Conference Outdoor Championships with the conference meet being hosted by Central Methodist this year. The meet will kick off on Friday, May 2 and conclude on Saturday, May 3 in Fayette, Mo.
