Track and Field:

Four track & field athletes, two men and two women, claimed CAC Athlete of the Week Awards.  At the Wake Forest Open 110-meter hurdles, track star, Luke Campbell, set the best time for a Division III athlete and was the only DIII athlete to qualify for finals.  For his success, he won the Track Athlete of the Week.  Xavier Stinson won the high jump “B,” by clearing 6' 6.25".  He earned the CAC Field Athlete of the Week.  This success, though impressive, is not new for these boys, both of whom won the men’s awards during the indoor season.

            Kara Tolson won her second CAC Athlete of the Week award of the season and was named the Track Athlete of the Week.  So far this season she has placed in the top ten in six events.  At Wake Forest, she set a new personal best, a time which earned her 9th place out of over 100 runners.  Chelsea Tavik earned her 3rd CAC Award this season after her success at Wake Forest.  She placed in the top ten in three events and was the top Division III winner in the shot put and hammer.

            These four athletes have a break until March 30th when they will compete at the Goucher Invitational.
