RINDGE, N.H. (December 15, 2015) – Junior Dage Minors (Hamilton Parish, Bermuda) and senior Alyssa Lambert (Manchester, N.H.) of the Franklin Pierce University track & field team have each been named Northeast-10 Conference Track Athlete of the Week, as announced on Monday by the league office. In addition this week, four other Ravens have been named to their sport's respective Weekly Honor Roll.

On the men's side of things, Minors won the 800 meters on Friday at the Elm City Challenge, with a time of 1:52.06. After conversion, as the meet was run on a flat track, the time becomes 1:50.48, and currently stands as the fastest time in the nation in the event. Minors' run also allowed him to meet the NCAA Championships provisional qualifying standard and the NEICAAA Championships qualifying standard.

All NCAA Championships qualifying marks are based on times run on a banked track, which produces faster times than a flat track. As such, all indoor times run on flat tracks have a conversion formula applied to level the playing field.

On the women's side of things, Lambert won the mile on Friday at the Elm City Challenge, with a time of 5:00.61. After conversion, her time dropped to 4:57.67, which is also the fastest in the nation in the event so far. Lambert also met both the NCAA Championships provisional qualifying standard and the NEICAAA Championships qualifying standard with her run.
