April 14, 2026 | Track & Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Southeastern Conference announced Tuesday that two Lady Vols earned weekly honors after standout performances at the 2026 Tennessee Invite. Cedricka Williams was named SEC Women's Field Athlete of the Week, and Hannah Grace secured SEC Women's Freshman of the Week accolades.
Williams made history at home, capturing the women's discus title with a season-best throw of 60.57 meters (198-9). Her mark broke a 49-year-old Tennessee program record by one centimeter and currently ranks second in both the SEC and the NCAA this outdoor season.
Grace continued her remarkable debut campaign for the Lady Vols, claiming the women's pole vault title with a lifetime-best clearance of 4.52 meters (14-10). The performance shattered her own school record, leads the SEC this season and stands third nationally. Additionally, her marks ranks first on the 2026 U20 World Athletics toplist.
