St. John Fisher University Athletics

Emily Strong of the women’s track and field team has been named the St. John Fisher College Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending February 19th, 2017.

Strong nailed a season-best in the 500 meters on Saturday as the Cardinals competed in the Deneault Memorial Invite hosted by Cornell College. The sophomore crossed the finish line at the 1:23.31 mark, earning her fourth in a race comprised of 11 runners hailing from both Division I and Division III schools. The time also missed her personal best by just over one second.

Women’s track and field will return to action on Friday as the team heads to St. Lawrence University for the two-day NYSCTC Championship.
