To get Monday started here are the Athletes of the week!
For the men: Senior Nick Mieney (Byron, NY/Byron-Bergen) earned the honor as he took top honors in the pole vault. Mieney cleared 15’ 5” in the pole vault competition to earn a provisional spot for the NCAA Division III Championships later this year as he led The College at Brockport Men’s and Women’s Track & Field squads to third-place finishes Saturday at the St. Lawrence University Invitational.
For the women: Junior Maria Quagliana (Horseheads, NY/Horseheads) is this week’s female of the week after winning three of her four diving events in two dual meets. Against Monroe Community College Quagliana posted two wins as the Golden Eagles won by a score of 153-139. She won the one-meter with a score of 231.65 and in the three-meter event she posted a 223.55. Her 11-dive score of 407.80 in the one-meter qualified her provisionally for Nationals.
