University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa senior Lilian Turban earned Big West Field Athlete of the Week recognition after a pair of strong performances at the University of California, Riverside (UCR<\/abbr>) Spring Classic.<\/p>\n

Turban took home victories in both the high jump and javelin, clearing 1.79 m in the high jump and throwing 48.12 m in the javelin. This is the sixth time in her career that Turban has been named Big West Field Athlete of the Week, having won the award twice each in 2022 and 2023 and once in 2025.<\/p>\n

The senior leads the Big West in the high jump—her signature event in which she has won the Big West title twice and was an NCAA<\/abbr> All-American in 2023. Turban also sits in second in the conference in the javelin after her personal best throw of 48.12 m moved her into fourth on 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> M\u0101noa\u2019s all-time top 10 list.<\/p>\n
