LOGAN, Utah – Utah State track and field junior Logan Hammer has been named the America First Credit Union USU Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, Jan. 19. The award is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
 
With their sponsorship of the student-athlete of the week, America First Credit Union donates funds directly to support student-athlete scholarships.
 
Hammer broke his own school record in the indoor pole vault at the Snake River Open this past weekend, winning the competition with a clearance of 5.55 meters (18-2.5). The Nampa, Idaho, product bested the Idaho State facility record set in 2002. Hammer's performance ranks as the fifth best in the nation this season.
