Luna and Wilkes Earn Weekly Empire 8 Honors
The Empire 8 Conference has announced its weekly awards, naming Stevens Institute of Technology senior Sebastian Luna the Field Athelte of the Week and St. John Fisher freshman Trevor Wilkes the Track Athlete of the Week.
Luna was the top competitor in the javelin in the men's team with an impressive throw of 60.21 meters (197' 6”). Luna beat the field of 28 by nearly two meters in his season's best throw and claimed his second victory in three meets this season.
Wilkes, who was also named Male Athlete of the Week for the College, earned conference recognition for his performance at the ROC City Classic. He won the 400-meter dash by almost a full second over the field of 19 competitors on April 6. His time of 50.89 set a personal-best and new school record.
