1/13/2026 | Track and Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Ole Miss track & field throwers Akaoma Odeluga and Tarik Robinson-O'Hagan have swept the SEC Field Athlete of the Week awards, the conference office announced on Tuesday afternoon.
Odeluga set the SEC lead in both the women's shot put and weight throw after her winning performances last week at Kentucky's Rod McCravy Memorial to open the 2026 indoor season. Odeluga took the weight throw crown on a massive five-foot PR of 22.95m/75-03.50, which ranks second nationally and fifth on Ole Miss' stacked women's weight throw all-time list. In the shot put, Odeluga had her best open ever at her winning toss of 17.92m/58-09.50, which also ranks second nationally and leads the SEC by nearly three feet.
Robinson-O'Hagan, three-time NCAA Champion and watch list member for The Bowerman, also took the SEC lead in men's edition of both the shot put and weight throw. He won the shot at an NCAA-leading 20.76m/68-01.50, the best mark this early into the collegiate season (Jan. 10) in available records (since at least 2008). In the weight, Robinson-O'Hagan was the top collegiate finisher at 23.78m/78-00.25, which ranks third nationally.
Ole Miss track & field heads to Nashville this week for the Vanderbilt Invitational, which is set to run Jan. 16-17.
