Hood College

Fred Roberts of men’s track and field and Danielle Holt of women’s lacrosse have been named Hood College’s Athletes of the Week for February 25, 2019.

Roberts set the school record in the heptathlon on his way to All-Middle Atlantic Conference honors at the MAC Indoor Track and Field Championships at Lehigh University. He scored 4,030 points to finish third in the multi-event. He turned in a strong second day of the heptathlon, scoring the second most points in the pole vault and 1,000-meter run. He scored 590 points in the pole vault by clearing a season-best 3.90 meters (12-9 1/2) and ran the 1,000 in 3:04.01 for 625 points. The performance helped him surpass the old school record set by Austin Hager-Perry in 2015.

In the 12-6 season-opening victory over Elizabethtown, Holt made her college debut with 11 saves on 26 shots faced to help the Blazers. Holt also recorded a ground ball and a caused turnover.
