Riverdale, N.Y. – Milan Jotanovic of Manhattan College was named MAAC Men’s Outdoor Track Performer of the Week, while teammate Malin Marmbrandt earned the distinction on the women’s side.

Jotanovic, a senior from Teslic, Bosnia-Herzegovina, broke his own shot put school record with a personal best 19.97-meters at the Baldy Castillo Invitational Track and Field Meet in Tempe, Arizona.  In the process, he became the NCAA leader for the current season.  His meet-winning mark also qualified him for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, the NCAA Regionals and the IC4As. Jotanovic qualified for the Beijing Olympics last summer, but had to skip the event due to injury.  In 2007, he won the bronze medal at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Marmbrandt, a junior from Sweden, captured the bronze medal in the women’s long jump with a 5.65-meter mark at the Baldy Castillo Invitational.  She was also part of the gold medal winning 4 x 100 Lady Jasper relay team, winning the race with a time of 48.80 seconds.  She also finished ninth in the 200-meter dash, with a time of 26.72 seconds.

The MAAC Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track Championships will be held on Saturday and Sunday, May 2 and 3, at Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey.
