Athletes Of The Week

Sawyer Dean

Sawyer Dean, senior long jumper and sprinter, had fire in his eyes as he entered the first ECC Championships this week. On Wednesday night, he jumped 21' 3" to win the long jump and to be ranked as the number 2 jumper in the City so far this season. He also ran a strong 100 and 200 to qualify to Friday's Finals. In the rain-delayed finals on Friday, he earned a 3rd place in the 100, 200, and 4 x 200, where he ran the anchor leg. Sawyer has tied the Kings 100 m dash school record from the early 1990's with his personal best time of 11.00. Sawyer's performances helped the Knights earn a runner-up finish at the ECC.

Laura Bruns

Laura Bruns earns this recognition again this season as she won the 300 meter hurdles at the ECC Championships with a school record time of 46.31. She was the lone individual champion for the Knights. In addition, she placed 2nd in the 100 hurdles and helped the 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 teams earn a 3rd place finish.
