ERIE, Pa. – Four Penn State Behrend Indoor Track & Field student-athletes have been selected as Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Athletes of the Week for the week of December 4-December 10.
Freshman Rylee Long (Slippery Rock, PA/Moniteau) earned Women's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week honors after breaking the school record in the triple jump. Long jumped 36-10 ¼ to break the school record, qualify for AARTFC, and score a victory in the event Saturday afternoon, trumping the Behrend indoor record of 36-9 that was previously set by Staci Banaszek in 2006.
On the track, Olivia Nola (Erie, PA/Collegiate Academy) notched Women's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week with a runner-up finish in the 3000m at the Mount Union Invite, crossing the finish line with a time of 11:10.43.
For the men, Samuel Hetrick (New Bethlehem, PA/Redbank Valley) delivered a runner-up finish in the high jump with a season-best and an AARTFC qualifying clearance of 6-6 ¾ en route to Men's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week on Saturday.
Kody Klein (North East, PA/Cathedral Prep) picked up a second-place finish in the 3000m with a time of 9:16.61 and then would go on to place third in the 500m (1:09.35) at Mount Union to be named Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week.
