Lethbridge, AB – The SUBWAY Pronghorn Athletes of the Week for the week ending March 9, 2014.

Male Athlete of the Week:
Aaron Hernandez– Men’s Track
 
Southern Alberta native Aaron Hernandez burst on the CIS track scene this season as a freshman, being named the CIS rookie of the year prior to the CIS Championship meet and earning a gold medal at the national meet.
 
At the Championship meet and with the pressure mounting after faulting on his first two jumps, the management student went on to claim his first national title in the triple jump with a jump of 15.03 metres.
 
The jump of 15.03 metres matched his personal best that he had set only two weeks prior at the Canada West Championships.
 
For his performance at the CIS Championships, Hernandez was also named the Canada West third star of the week.
