Javen Reeves and Bre'Yana Wash Earn Weekly ACC Honors

Louisville's two student-athletes that currently rank first nationally in their respective events are among the Atlantic Coast Conference's first group of Outdoor Track and Field Performers of the Week for the 2016 season.

Sophomore high-jumper Javen Reeves was recognized as the ACC Men's Field Performer of the Week, while junior long jumper Bre'Yana Wash earned Women's Co-Field Performer of the Week honors.

Reeves won the long jump at the USF Bulls Invitational to kick off the outdoor season. The New Albany, Indiana, native finished with a new personal best mark of 2.20m (7-2.50), just shy of Tone Belt's Louisville school record of 2.23m (7-3.75). His mark currently ranks as the top mark in the nation and was his second career win in the outdoor high jump.

Wash continued her momentum from the indoor season into the outdoor season with a win in the long jump at the USF Bulls Invitational, setting a new meet record. Wash won the event with a new personal best mark of 6.30m (20-8), just shy of Charachesicia Lockhart's school record of 6.34m/20-9.75. The Dallas native's mark currently ranks as the top mark in the nation and earned her a fifth career outdoor long jump win.

This is the first ACC weekly honor for both Reeves and Wash.
