Trio of Colonials earn weekly A-10 accolades
Three GW athletes earned Atlantic 10 weekly awards for their performances last weekend.
Senior women’s cross-country team member Megan Hogan was named A-10 Performer of the Week in cross-country Monday after placing fourth out of 304 runners at the 2010 Penn State Invitational in State College, Penn. The 2010 All-American finished the 6K course in 20:36, finishing 13 seconds out of first place and 30 seconds better than she did on the same course last year.
Two swimmers swept the A-10 Performer of the Week awards, which were also announced Monday. Freshman Caroline Myers won the women’s award after winning the 500-yard freestyle, the 400-yard individual medley and the 1650-yard freestyle over the weekend in a meet against American University and Catholic. Myers also finished second in the 200-yard individual medley.
Fellow freshman Spencer Neff earned the men’s A-10 Performer of the Week award in swimming. The Gig Harbor, Wash., native won the 1650-yard freestyle, placed second in the 500-yard freestyle and third in the 200-yard freestyle.
