NEW HAVEN, Conn. - - The spring season is closing in on crunch time and the Wilmington University student-athletes continue to shine, placing four more on this week's Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Weekly Reports, with five more being named to the Honor Roll.
A pair of track athletes made their way on the CACC Reports, as Donte Dockery was named the Men's Field Athlete of the Week and Angie Chomo was named the Women's Co-Track Athlete of the Week. On the lacrosse field, Julian Businsky was named the CACC Defensive Player of the Week while Ian Betts was named Rookie of the Week for their efforts at Holy Family last week.
Track and field's Donte Dockery (Wilmington, Del.) shined at the Penn Relays for the second straight year, jumping his way to a third place finish at the famed event.
