Missouri Southern women's track and field thrower Desirea Buerge has been named the MIAA Women's Co-Field Athlete of the Week as announced by the league office today.

Buerge had a pair of Automatic Qualifying marks this past weekend at Angelo State. She tossed her first Automatic Qualifying mark and broke an 11-year old school record by going 15.86m (52-00.50) in the shot put to win the event.








Buerge followed that up with another auto qualifier, a school record and win in the discus with a mark of 55.54m (182-03). Her shot put mark is number two in Division II this year and her discus mark is number two, as well.
