Rafter Named NEC Athlete of the Week
After a strong showing at the Wagner College Invitational last weekend, Angie Rafter was named Northeast Conference Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.
Rafter and the rest of the Blue Devils represented well in New York, grabbing three first place finishes on the day. Rafter's came in the women's one mile event, where she dashed to a 4:55.79 victory, five seconds faster than the second place finish.
The senior from Danielson is coming off of a historic cross country season in the fall. Rafter won the individual NEC Championship after a dominant performance that broke the home course record. This Athlete of the Week honor comes after earning four out four during the cross country season.
Rafter and the Blue Devils will be back again competing this weekend, taking part in the TCNJ tournament in New York.
