This week’s male athlete of the week goes to Victor Shapovalo of the university of Hartford’s Track & Field team. This comes from the sophomore’s great performance at the Adidas Winthrop Invitational this past weekend. During this invitational, the Massachusetts native was able to break a school record in the javelin throw. This throw, which landed 63.68m away broke the record by over two meters. This impressive foot allowed Victor to be placed fifth. However, he was able to win in his field because of his accomplishments as well. This athlete will continue to surprise and astound us after his great victory over the 33 other athletes who were attempting to see first.
