USCB senior Becky Hayden was named the Sun Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Month for February on Monday. Hayden was selected in voting by the league's sports information directors.
In addition to strong showings on the track, Hayden has shown steady progression in the high jump. The senior from Strafford, N.H., earned her first career win in the high jump at Saturday's Savannah State Tiger Relays with a mark of 1.52 meters, the best mark in the Sun Conference thus far during the outdoor season.
Hayden and the Sand Shark track & field team are back in action Saturday at the Savannah State Orange & Blue Classic beginning at 11:30 a.m. at T.A. Wright Stadium.
