🔼 Plenty of Honors. So many athletes got Atlantic 10 Weekly honors this week, so we are combining it all in one section. First, we will start with track and field— Alicia Dawson earned Field Performer of the Week, Blaiklyn Clayton earned Rookie of the Week and Elizabeth Stockman earned Track Performer of the Week. And then, for men’s tennis, Paxton Pritchard earned Rookie of the Week.
