California Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week

April 22, 2013

BERKELEY - Tom Blocker, who won two individual races and ran a leg on a victorious relay to help Cal claim the 119th Big Meet, has been named California Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week.

In his first event of the afternoon last Saturday, Blocker ran on the second leg of the 4x100-meter relay that defeated the Cardinal and posted a season-best time of 40.24 seconds. He then lowered his lifetime best to 10.51 seconds to win the 100 meters and followed up with a wind-aided PR of 21.23 to capture the 200 meters.

The Golden Bears out-pointed Stanford, 85-78, to prevail in the Big Meet for the first time since 2006.

Blocker's honor is the second for a member of the Cal track & field team this year. Chioma Amaechi earned the award on Jan. 28 when she set a school record in the weight throw during the indoor season.
