Rafter, Hurd Take Home NEC Honors
After an impressive outting at the David Hemery Valentine Invite, Central Connecticut track and field head into this weekend's Northeast Conference Championship with the final regular season Athlete and Rookie of the Week, Angie Rafter and Alissa Hurd.
Rafter's nomination comes after the senior broke the CCSU record in the 5000m run, finishing the race in 16:18.75, almost a minute faster than the previous record.
Hurd took home the gold in the women's high jump last Friday, going for 1.66m.
Hurd and Rafter will be looking for more strong performances on Sunday, February 20 at the NEC Championship.
