Macon, Ga. -- Campbell's Lincoln Gordon does it again, winning two events and setting a school record. He was named Athlete of the Week today by the conference office.

The Fuquay-Varina, N.C., native won both events he entered and set the school record in the triple jump. The sophomore broke his own school record in the triple jump for the second time this season with a jump of 49-10.50 at the On Track Open hosted by Liberty University. The jump was more than a foot and a half longer than his old record, which he set at the UNC Opener this year. He also shattered his personal best jump in the long jump with a leap of 23-00.50 to win the event by almost a full foot.

Both marks lead the league and were close to NCAA Provisional standards.

Gordon is majoring in Social Work.

The Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Week is announced every Wednesday during the 2006 indoor track season.

The 11-member league headquartered in Macon, Ga., consists of Belmont, Campbell, ETSU, Florida Atlantic, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, North Florida and Stetson.
