GREENVILLE, S.C. – Furman's Matthew Smith and Megan Marvin have been named the Southern Conference men's and women's indoor track and field athletes of the week, respectively, the conference office announced Wednesday.  Selections were made by panels of the league's track and field coaches and included all competition from Jan. 29 – Feb. 4.
