LANGLEY, British Columbia– Trinity Western’s Oke Okumo (Calgary, Alta.) is the Spartan Male Athlete of the Week after winning his first-ever Canada West gold medal by winning the long jump and helping lead the Spartans to a sixth-place finish at the Canada West championships at the Universiade Pavilion in Edmonton, Alta.
 
The third-year computer science student finished first with a jump of 7.26 meters.  The gold medal sees Okumo improve on the long jump silver medal he won at last year's Canada West Championships. Okumo now has three conference medals, having nabbed a bronze medal in the triple jump in 2022. Okumo also finished ninth in the triple jump with a jump of 13.08 meters, and 14th in the high jump with a jump of 1.77 meters.
