Athletes of the Week

Congratulations to Rusty Landon and Dayna Piraino on being named the Brockport Elite Eagles of the Week for the week of April 19-25.

Junior Rusty Landon (Ithaca, NY/Lansing) is the male athlete of the week after breaking the school record in the 400-meter hurdles at the SUNY Geneseo Open.
Landon finished first with an NCAA provisional time of 53.68, breaking the old school record mark of 54.8 set in 1986 and 1988. His winning time was almost two full seconds ahead of second place at 55.50 and currently ranks him 10th in Division III.




Sophomore Dayna Piraino (Syracuse, NY/Henninger) is the female athlete of the week as she led the women’s lacrosse team to an 11-9 victory over SUNY Geneseo.
Piraino scored four goals and had four assists in the win. The Golden Eagles scored three times in a span of two and half minutes in the second half to open up a 10-7 game as Piraino scored the ninth goal and assisted on the tenth.
With the win and results from other games over the weekend, Brockport (9-2 overall, 5-1 SUNYAC) clinched a spot in the SUNYAC tournament.
Piraino leads the team with 46 points on 22 goals and 24 assists.
