Trevon Hamer (Barton) – NJCAA Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week
Trevon Hamer becomes the first Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference track and field athlete during the 2025 season to earn NJCAA Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week accolades following two big performances at the Kansas State University Thane Baker Invitational last weekend. Earning an event win in the triple jump with a mark of 15.98 meters (52 ft. – 5.25 in.) to win the event by over two feet over the next closest competitor as his mark is currently the top mark in the NJCAA and 16th best all-time in NJCAA history. Hamer also earned an event win in the 60 meters by running a time of 6.68 seconds to punch his ticket to the NJCAA Indoor Track and Field National Championships in March. The time is the fastest in the KJCCC this season and third fastest in the NJCAA this season.
