St. John Fisher College’s Eric Riley (Oneida/Wampsville) of the men’s indoor track and field team has been named the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending December 11, 2011.
Riley led the men’s team at the RIT Early Season Invitational on Thursday, placing first in the high jump. The freshman soared to a height of 1.93 meters, which tied him for first-place in the event, and qualified him for ECACs.
Riley also took part in the men’s long jump, and finished sixth in the event. Riley finished with a distance of 6.46 meters, in only his second collegiate meet.
The Cardinals will return to action on January 14th when they return to RIT for the RIT Invitational. The event will take place at the Gordon Field House.
