NEW ORLEANS – For the second week in a row, senior Stillman College men's track and field student-athlete Christopher Johnson has been named the HBCU Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Week. 

Johnson set the Stillman College program record and a Falcons Classic record with a 54.78m discus throw. The distance was far enough to qualify Johnson for the NAIA Outdoor Championships. 

The native of Meridian, Mississippi also brought home a first-place finish in the shot put with a hurl of 14.12m, which set a personal record for Johnson.

Previously, Johnson won the honor after Johnson finished first by more than seven meters in the men's discus event at the UWA Invitational. The preseason All-HBCUAC Field Athlete of the Year registered a throw of 47.66m, clearing the second-place finisher Steven Conrad from Mississippi College, who scored 40.33 meters.

The Stillman College team returns to action on March 22 in Jackson, Mississippi, at the Belhaven Invitational.
