BIRMINGHAM-Β After breaking the UAB school record in indoor pole vault this past weekend, Anna Massa has been named the Conference USA Female Field Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday morning.

"We're so proud of Anna." Said Coach Kurt Thomas. "We have a great training group, and it really helps her. She's a talented vaulter and put together a really good series of jumps to earn this award. We can't wait to see what she can do the rest of this year."
