FORT WORTH - Baseball's Jimmie Pharr and basketball's Starr Crawford are the TCU Athletes of the Week, it was announced Tuesday.
Pharr started all three games at catcher over the weekend for the Horned Frogs, racking up a team-best six hits in the series against Kansas. His .400 batting average is tied for third-best on the squad after the opening weekend.
The Flower Mound, Texas, senior tallied two extra-base hits with a double in the series opener and a triple in the second game of the series. His efforts, including catching 14 innings in the series finale, helped TCU to a 2-1 record to open the season.
Crawford poured in 18 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including 12 in the first half, in TCU's 61-53 win over Colorado State on Feb. 16. She also added a game-high seven rebounds in just 27 minutes of action.
Against BYU on the following Saturday, Crawford netted 13 points and hauled in 15 rebounds. The sophomore from Arlington, Texas, was 5-of-6 at the free throw line.
