PITTSFORD, N.Y., February 9, 2015 — Mark VanMarter (Liverpool/Liverpool) of the St. John Fisher College men’s track and field team has been selected as the College’s Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending February 8, 2015.
The freshman leapt 7.13 meters to win the long jump, as the Cardinals finished fourth with 72 points at the College at Brockport’s Mid-Season Classic Invite on Saturday.
That length ranks as the third-best jump in the nation this year and also set a new Fisher indoor record.
VanMarter is not far off the school’s best mark in the triple jump either at 13.54 meters. Junior Brandon Fuentes holds that record (13.56 meters), set in February of 2014.
Fisher returns to action at the Empire 8 Championship on Saturday at Houghton College.
