Edison, NJ - Indoor Track & Field Performer of the Week honors were awarded to Kristen Perrine of Rider University and Arquimedes Delacruz of Marist College.

Perrine won the 1000m (3:00.82) and ran the third leg of the 4x800 relay that won with a time of 9:33.67 in Rider's dual meet with TCNJ on Super Bowl Sunday.  Perrine also ran Friday evening at the Armory in New York (New Balance Invitational) on the second leg of the 4x800 with an ECAC qualifying time of 9:15.50, setting a new Rider record by almost four seconds.
