Faller Wins NESCAC Athlete of the Week Honors

(9/30/2008)

Jesse Faller earned NESCAC Athlete of the Week honors with his 1st place finish at this weekends Codfish Bowl. His time of 25:42 at Franklin Park outpaced the field by three seconds. Faller earned All NESCAC, All Region, and All American honors in his sophomore cross country season, but this is his first NESCAC Athlete of the Week award. It is fitting that this is his first time receiving this honor as this weekend marked his first collegiate victory in cross country.

This year's Homecoming weekend was a fruitful one for the Jumbos as Faller was joined by Caitlyn Updike (Volleyball) and Sarah Nolet (Soccer) as winners of the NESCAC Athlete of the Week award.
