Nebraska track and field senior Burger Lambrechts Jr. was named the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday.
At the Hawkeye B1G Invitational, Lambrechts Jr. was the shot put champion with a throw of 64-4 (19.61m), his best of the season so far. Lambrechts leads the Big Ten in the shot put and ranks ninth in the nation.
Lambrechts is the second Husker to earn conference honors in the last two weeks. Papay Glaywulu was the Big Ten Field Athlete of the Week last Wednesday.
The Huskers are off this weekend while preparing for the Big Ten Indoor Championships in Geneva, Ohio on Feb. 25-27.
