Junior Michaela Pernell of the women's track & field team has been named this week's Fuddruckers Female Athlete of the Week, after a pair of impressive performances in the 60-meter dash and 200-meter race.
The junior finished second in the 60-meter dash at the John Thomas Terrier Classic with a time of 7.51 seconds, which is second on the NCAA Division II provisional qualifying list. She set a school record as well. In the 200-meter event, she had a time of 24.57 seconds, which is currently fifth in Division II, also a provisional qualifier.
Pernell and the Warriors return to action this weekend at the New England Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Mass.
