COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Each week during the 2025-26 season a Maryland student-athlete, who has shown excellence on and off the playing field, will be selected as the Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons Terp of the Week.
This week's Terp of the Week is Fin Essley of the Maryland Track and Field Team.
Essley set a new school record in the hammer throw on Friday at Maryland's Kehoe Twilight Invitational. The sophomore finished fourth overall in the event with a mark of 62.13 meters (203 feet, 10 inches).
He previously held the school record which he first set at the Virginia Challenge this year with a throw of 62.11 meters. He is one of just two Terps to surpass the 200-foot mark in program history (alongside current teammate Andrew Harmon).
Essley also placed fifth in the discus throw with a mark of 45.63 meters (149 feet, 8 inches) - his fourth-best throw of the season.
Maryland Track and Field returns to action later this week May 8th at the Navy National Elite meet in Annapolis, MD at noon Friday.
