COLONIA, NJ – Jackson Doran and Austin Melvin had great results at the first meet of the second semester at the Brockport Rust Buster meet and both have been honored by the East Coast Conference (ECC) as the Track Athlete of the Week and the Field Athlete of the Week.

Melvin, who earned the Field Athlete of the Week award, hit new heights for the Roberts Pole Vault squad over the weekend as he set a new school record for indoor pole vault and became the first Redhawk to clear the 17-foot bar. He won the pole vault competition at the Brockport Rust Buster meet by clearing the 5.18-meter (17' 0") bar. He passed to the 4.75 bar and cleared five consecutive bars on his first try including the 5.18 height. The jump broke his own school record set last year at the NCAA Championships at 5.14 meters (16' 10 ¼").

Doran was named the Track Athlete of the Week and is making the most of his extras year of eligibility as he started the second semester strong by winning the 3K race in a field of 33 runners with a time of 8:49.43 and also placed fourth (34 runners) with a time of 1:59.15.

The Roberts Track and Field teams will compete Friday at the RIT Friday Night meet at Gordon Field House at RIT.
