St. John Fisher University Athletics

Mark VanMarter (Liverpool/Liverpool) of the men’s track and field team has been selected as the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending December 14.

The freshman jumper earned his first collegiate victory in the long jump with a winning mark of 6.71 meters at the RIT Invitational on Thursday.

VanMarter is just a week removed from breaking the school-record in the long jump after vaulting to 6.82 meters at the Cornell Relays in just his first collegiate meet.  For his efforts, VanMarter was recognized as the New York State Collegiate Track Conference (NYSCTC) Indoor Male Field Athlete of the Week for the week ending December 7.

Fisher has nearly a month layoff until its next meet, which will be January 9 at Cornell University.
