Three Crusaders Earn Landmark Athlete of Week Honors

SELINSGROVE, PA -- Three Susquehanna University athletes earned Landmark Conference weekly honors, the conference office announced Monday.

Sophomore Don Kirkland (Kennett Square, Pa./Unionville) was named Baseball Player of the Week, senior Mike Marr (Muncy, Pa./Warrior Run) was named Men's Field Athlete of the Week and freshman Alycia Woodruff (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) earned Women's Track Athlete of the Week honors.

Kirkland provided offensive pop for the Crusaders as they went 4-2 in six Landmark games (4-3 overall) on the week. He hit .391 overall and .474 in Landmark contests, while belting three home runs and collecting 10 RBI. He posted three multi-hit games on the week, including a 2-for-2 perfor­mance with two home runs in a win over Drew. He also scored five runs and added a double and three walks for the week.

Marr opened the outdoor season with a strong performance at the Jim Taylor Invitational. Marr won the high jump with a leap of 1.93 meters. He then added a fourth-place finish in the triple jump with a best effort of 12.71 meters.

Woodruff was a top performer for Susquehanna at the Jim Taylor Invitational. She crossed the line in second place in the 1,500 running a time of 4:49.91 just a few seconds off the school record time she set the previous week. She then added a fifth-place finish in the 800 with a time of 2:24.38.  

The Athlete of the Week selections are made by the Landmark Conference office. The conference chooses athletes of the week in softball, baseball and men's and women's track, field, tennis and lacrosse during the spring sports seasons.
