NEW ORLEANS – For the second time this season and fourth time in his career, Taylor Rooney (Sr., Andover) has been selected the USTFCCCA Division III National Athlete of the Week.
Rooney added two more all-time marks to the record book in the 60 hurdles. Competing this past weekend in a dual meet against St. Thomas, Rooney went 7.90 in the prelims for the No. 8 performance in NCAA DIII history and followed that up with 7.93 effort in the final for the victory and the No. 11 performance on the all-time chart.
Rooney remains the fifth-best performer in NCAA DIII history and is only one of two men with multiple all-time marks in the top-15, joining record-holder Luke Campbell of Salisbury.
