St. John Fisher University Athletics

Samantha Gehl of the women’s track and field team has been selected as the Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 30^th, 2017.
 
Gehl, a freshman, was able to participate in her first race since losing her leg to bone cancer on Saturday. She ran the 200-meter with her prosthetic, and was accompanied by two of her coaches, Kristine Wolcott and Angela Ryck, as well as close friend Kara Waters, and Alannah Polisseni.
 
Fisher will return to action on Friday when it host the NYSCTC meet at Polisseni Track and Field Complex.
