This is the second weekly award for Greene this season, and the seventh of her career, while Whitney picks up the first award of his collegiate career.

Highlighting the evening for the Rams was Greene, who won the high jump competition with a leap of 5?? 7??, which also qualifies her for the ECAC Championships later this season. She also placed second in the 60 meter hurdles in a time of 9.24 seconds, after qualifying first in the preliminaries in 9.04, and ran a leg of the fifth-place 4x400m relay (4:05.79). Whitney helped the men??s squad to the fifth-place finish, taking fourth in the high jump at the Fordham Invitational with a personal best jump of 6?? 3.25??.
