Barton women sweep conference track and field's week five awards #GoBarton

Treneese Hamilton and Sanae Hassnaoui of the 3rd ranked Barton Community College track and field program have been named the KJCCC's Week Five Women's Field and Track Athletes of the Week following performances this past weekend at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Hamilton not only competed in a pair of events but posted personal bests in each while bettering her program top ten standing to earn her second KJCCC honor of the season.

Taking over the top spot on the shot put national leaderboard, Hamilton improved her program 6th spot standing with a 15.33m (50-03.50) mark and held steady at the second best national weight throw distance in an improved 17.01m (55-9-75) mark to move up a spot to 7th on the program top ten list.

Breaking the mile run program record and posting the NJCAA's second fastest time earned Hassnaoui her first KJCCC honor despite earning the national distinction in week two of the season.

The freshman continued her assault against times posted by the best of the best in program history, this past week clocking a 4:47.99 stoppage in just her second attempt of the event in taking over the top spot.

Hassnaoui's time broke a 31-year program record held by Janice Turner's 1993 best time of 4:49.62 set during her NJCAA Championship title run and is second all-time on the NJCAA performance list.

Hassnaoui also has the program's 6th best 800m time of 2:10.75 to sit third nationally and 6th on the program 1000m chart clocking of 2:56.76 to currently ranked 2nd best this season.

The duo, along with the rest of the women's and men's programs, enter post-season this weekend competing in the KJCCC/Region 6 Championships beginning Saturday in Pittsburg, Kansas, held at the Robert W. Plaster Center.
