Good morning, Shocker Nation! What’s in a name? For Destiny Masters, it appears to be a lot! Masters was tabbed the AAC Women's Field Athlete of the Week. This marks the third time in Masters' career that she has earned an outdoor weekly award and the third time a Shocker woman has been named AAC Field Athlete of the Week.
 
The senior put up an NCAA-leading heptathlon score of 5,604 points to win the ESU Relays. In the heptathlon, she cleared for the 23^rd-best high jump mark in the NCAA and third-best in the conference, ran the seventh-fastest 100-meter hurdles time in the AAC, jumped the seventh-farthest long jump mark in the AAC, and threw the 10^th-best shot put mark and sixth-best javelin mark in the AAC.
