"It is a great honor to have Bryant as the Pac-12 Men's Field Athlete of the Week," said head track and field coach Fred Harvey. "It has been a long time coming for him. He has been working hard and his timing, as far as jumping is concerned, has been just a little off but you know the talent is there. For him to be able hit that mark, 2.22 meters, and become Pac-12 Athlete of the Week is absolutely an honor for us as well as Bryant."
