Partridge Receives NAIA Field Athlete of the Week Honor

Doane Men's Track and Field thrower Luke Partridge has added to his week of accolades as he has been named the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Men's Field Athlete of the Week. This is the first time Partridge has received the honor and he is the eight Doane field athlete to be acknowledged with the national honor.
