Peter Girardi of the men’s indoor track and field team has been selected as the St. John Fisher College Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending January 15th, 2017.
Girardi opened up his 2017 indoor track season with a couple impressive performances at the Utica Invite over the weekend. The junior placed first in the 400-meter race with a time 50.12, setting a new facility record and qualifying him for the ECACs. In the 200-meter dash, Girardi was the runner up, setting a personal record of 22.64. Finally, the Cicero, N.Y. native teamed up with three of his teammates to take first in the 4x200-meter relay, clocking in at 1:32.62 (ECAC qualifier).
Girardi was also honored as this week’s Empire 8 Conference Male Track Athlete of the Week.
Fisher returns to action Saturday when it travels to Ohio to compete in the Inter-Regional Invitational hosted by the Spire Institute.
