St. John Fisher University Athletics

Kyle Blessing (Oneida/Oneida) of the St. John Fisher College men's track and field team has been named the College's Male Athlete of the Week after an impressive showing to kick-off the outdoor portion of Fisher's schedule at the Daniel Curran Invitational.

A first-year standout, Blessing didn't waste any time climbing the leaderboard, as the Oneida native qualified for ECACs in the discus after shattering the Fisher record by over nine meters with a hurl of 43.74 meters - placing him fifth overall in the event.

Blessing and the rest of the men's track and field team will return to action next weekend at the University of Rochester Invitational.
