CARMEL, Ind. -- The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference has announced its weekly award winners for the sport of women's track & field. Irene Lema Madueno earned HCAC Jumps Athlete of the Week for her record-breaking performance at the Indiana State Open this past weekend. 

Lema Madueno had a record-breaking performance in the pole vault at the Indiana State Open on Saturday. The mechanical engineering major broke the Rose-Hulman school record in the event after clearing a height of 3.36 meters (11' 0.25"). The Arcadia, California native's finish is the best mark across the entire HCAC this season in the event.
