ITHACA, N.Y. – Two days after the Liberty League released its weekly awards and tabbed five student-athletes from the Ithaca College men's and women's track & field with Performer of the Week honors, the Eastern College Athletic Conference selected four of those Bombers as Athletes of the Week.
Sophomore
Daniel Harden-Marshall took top honors in 22.34 seconds in the 200-meter dash and ran a leg on Ithaca's top 4x200-meter relay team that clocked a time of 1:31.30. Harden-Marshall was named Track North Athlete of the Week.
Senior
Lee Matthews was victorious in the shot put with a mark of 14.11 meters during the dual meet with Cortland, and was also a runner-up in the weight throw at 12.71 meters. For his efforts, Matthews was selected as Field North Athlete of the Week.
Graduate student
Katherine Pitman earned Field North Athlete of the Week after she quickly moved along in the pole vault last Friday. Pitman cleared her first three heights up to 4.15 meters and currently holds a half-meter edge nationally in the event. She made a run at the all-time NCAA Division III indoor record at 4.27 meters, but just narrowly clipped the bar on all three tries.
Senior
Denise Ibarra won the mile by nearly 11 seconds with a time of 5:15.62 during the dual meet with Cortland to be named Track North Athlete of the Week. Ibarra's time currently ranks her second in Division III.
