WESTFIELD, Mass. – Westfield State junior Eliza Lee (Walpole, Mass.) was named the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Field Athlete of the Week for her performance at the New England Division III Championships this past weekend.
Lee secured a pair of All-New England honors with personal best marks in both the long jump and the triple jump. She leaped to a distance of 11.70 meters in the triple jump, moving her to 27th overall on the Division III National performance list. She also logged a distance of 5.75 meters in the long jump, inching her into the top 30 on the national performance list in that event.
Lee has been one of the Owls top performers all season long as shown at both the New England Championships and the MASCAC Championships where she earned all-conference honors for placing first in both the 400-meter hurdles (1:06.09) and the triple jump (11.27). She piled up 54 of the Owls 213 points and was a key contributor in guiding the Owls to a second consecutive MASCAC title.
Lee is on the edge of qualification for the NCAA Division III Championships and will have two more chances of increasing her positioning at both the All-New England Championships this weekend from UMass Amherst followed by last chance qualifiers Williams College and MIT next Wednesday and Thursday.
