DANBURY, Conn. --- Moravian College junior distance runner Meg Brockett has been honored as the ECAC Division III South Women's Track & Field Athlete of the Week for her performance last Saturday.
Brockett, who picked up her second Landmark Conference Indoor Track Athlete of the Week honor of the season on Monday, captured the 3,000-meter run at the Susquehanna University Crusader Challenge on Saturday with a personal-best, ECAC qualifying and Landmark Conference record time of 10:15.31. Brockett's clocking is the third best in Moravian history, and it ranks her 27th in the nation on the Track & Field Results Reporting System list for Division III. The top 17 female student-athletes in each event will compete at the NCAA Division III Indoor National Championships in March.
"We were ecstatic with Meg's race this weekend, especially since she was in the lead all 3,000 meters and didn't even have anyone on her heels for the last mile to 2k of the race," stated Head Coach Jesse Baumann. "We're looking for bigger races and meets we can get her into to hopefully push her to the faster times we know she's capable of, but this was certainly a good race for her that we were both really pleased with."
The Greyhounds are scheduled to return to action at the Monmouth University Invitational on Saturday, February 13.
