Women's track and field athlete Argia Gibson is this week's Blue Cross Blue Shield North Carolina Student-Athlete of the Week.
Each week the school selects a BCBSNC Athlete of the Week upon their performance from the previous week's action.
Argia won the women's long jump competition in the Catamount Classic at Western Carolina on Saturday, finishing with a mark of 5.67 meters in the finals. Gibson also set a pair of school records in the long jump preliminary rounds on Saturday as well. In addition to the long jump win, Gibson notched a ninth place finish with her time of 12.60 in the 100 meter dash earlier in Saturday's competition.
Argia and the rest of the Bulldog track team will travel to Atlanta to compete in the Georgia Tech Invitational this weekend as UNC Asheville continues to prepare for the Big South Conference Championships at High Point University beginning on May 14.
