MAC Track Athlete of the Week
Laura Mathews (Stevens / Fr. / Denville, N.J.) ran the fastest 60-meter hurdles time in NCAA Division III over the weekend. In her first collegiate event, Mathews broke the school record in the 60-meter hurdles at the TCNJ Indoor Open, winning the race in 8.95 seconds, topping Stevens' previous mark of 9.26 seconds in 2014. She recorded the record-setting time in both the preliminary and championship races and her time in the final topped the field that included four Division I runners. Mathews would also go on to join classmate Liana Meyer and seniors Melissa Barnes and Gina Dello Russo to break the program's 4x400-meter relay record.
