for contests between February 6 and February 12
Female Athlete of the Week – Samantha Mayden, Track & Field
Mayden won both the mile and the 1000 meters – two races that started less than an hour apart – at the Lafayette-Rider Games. Her mile time of 5:02.63 (converted) is the second-fastest in the CC and the 15th-fastest in Division III this year. Her time in the 1,000 (2:58.69) broke the former school record – held by a three-time NCAA qualifier – by almost nine seconds.
Male Athlete of the Week – Peter Rice, Track & Field
Rice was part of two first-place finishes at the Lafayette-Rider Games, winning the 400 and anchoring the 4×400. His time in the 400 (49.56) is the best in the CC this season, and he helped the relay team break an eight-year-old school record. Rice is now part of five school-record relay teams.
