STANDISH, Maine – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) weekly honors have been released and three Saint Joseph's College outdoor track & field athletes have earned awards.
For their performances in the Monks Invitational over the weekend, senior Brooklyn Goff (Biddeford, Maine) has claimed GNAC Women's Field Athlete of the Week honors, junior Dylan Dickey (Laconia, N.H.) has collected GNAC Men's Field Athlete of the Week accolades, and freshman Haytham Ramadan (Khartoum, Sudan) has been named as the GNAC Men's Track & Field Rookie of the Week.
Goff cruised to a victory in the Heptathlon with 3,872 points, 755 ahead of the runner-up in the event. The senior standout won six of the seven events, with top finishes in the 100-hurdles (16.72), High Jump (1.57m), 200-Meter (27.58), Long Jump (4.98m), Javelin (24.06m), and 800-meter (2:40.39), and also placed second in the Shot Put (7.88m). Goff set program records for the High Jump and the Heptathlon, an event for which she now ranks seventh in New England and 32nd in the NCAA DIII National Rankings.
Dickey clobbered the Javelin Throw field with a 54.78-meter heave, over 14 meters farther than that of the second-place finisher. He also placed tenth in the Discus Throw with his 30.91-meter mark. Dickey's Javelin performance puts him sixth in the New England Region and twenty-first in the NCAA DIII National Rankings.
Ramadan won the 1500-Meter run with 4:12.37 time and also placed first in the 800-Meter run with a 2:00.79 performance. The freshman phenom broke the program's former 1500 record by nearly four seconds - a mark set nearly three years ago to the day by Assistant Coach Troy Hendricks '22 - and was just over a second off the team's 800 top time. Ramadan is now ranked first in the GNAC in both events.
The Monks will compete at the Pine Tree State Classic at Bowdoin College this coming Friday and Saturday.
