Rookie Field Athlete-of-the-Week
Casondra Caldwell, Fy., Bridgeport (Great Oaks Charter)


Fifth-time weekly honoree, following four weekly honors during indoor season. The program's indoor triple jump record-holder (37-10 ¾), Caldwell won that event in a field of 13 with a mark of 37-2 ½ and was second among 31 in the long jump (18-11 ¾) in amassing 18 of the team's 49 points as Eastern placed fifth among 11 teams at the Southern Connecticut State U. Wilton Wright Invitational. Her distance in the triple just was just inches off the outdoor record of 37-5 3/4 and her mark in the long jump is the second-best in program history. At the meet, she also ran anchor on the LEC Relay-of-the-Week which broke the 42-year-old program record in a time of 48.60. The Warriors host the annual Bonnie Edmondson Classic Friday at the Mansfield Outdoor Complex.
  Rookie Track Athlete-of-the-Week
Hagen Drake, Fy., Stonington (Stonington)
 
First-year runner placed third among 17 participants in the 400 hurdles (54.45) and fourth among 16 in the 110 hurdles (14.97) when the Warriors placed third among 11 teams with 73 points at the Southern Conn. State U. Wilton Wright Invitational Friday. Drake broke the 12-year-old record by over a second in the 400 hurdles, eclipsing Luisantonio Rosado's 2014 mark of 55.64 set at the New England Division III Championships.  His time in the 110 hurdles is the second-fastest time in program history, a half-second off the record set by Adam Schimmelpfennig (14.49) at last year's New England Open. In his only previous time running either event at Virginia Wesleyan University, Drake was timed in 15.47 in the 110 hurdles and did not record a time in the 400 hurdles. The Warriors host the annual Bonnie Edmondson Classic Friday at the Mansfield Outdoor Complex.
