Hood College

Chris Burgenson of the men’s track and field team and Krista Przywara of the women’s track and field team are the Hood College Athletes of the Week for May 10, 2021. 

Burgenson set the program record for the second time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase to lead the men's track and field team on the second day of the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships at Widener University. He took over a second off of his old record, placing fourth with a time of 9:54.51. The time was just 2.4 seconds out of third place and all-conference honors. 

Przywawa cleared a personal best in the pole vault on the final day of the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships. She cleared 2.66 meters (8 feet, 8 3/4 inches) and it was the second consecutive meet in which the sophomore cleared a new best height. Przywara added 0.07 meters (2 3/4 inches) to her previous best.
