Three Crusaders Earn Landmark Athlete of Week Honors

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

Senior Josh Robinson (Mahwah, N.J./River Dell) earned his second men's basketball player of the week nod this season. In track and field, Susquehanna had two honorees, with sophomore sprinter Josh Simpson (North Braddock, Pa./Woodland Hills) taking men's track honors and sophomore jumper Beth Lawrence (Sunbury, Pa./Shikellamy) taking the award in women's field.

Robinson helped the Crusaders lock up a Landmark postseason berth with a pair of solid performances. He scored 27 points in both of the Crusader's Landmark games to help the team earn two wins. He had 27 and three rebounds against Goucher, and followed with 27 and six boards against Catholic. He shot 50 percent from the field and 94 percent from the foul line over the two games. Robinson also contributed three steals and an assist.

Simpson posted two impressive individual efforts at the Susquehanna Indoor Invitational. He won both of his individual events, crossing the line first in both the 55-meter dash and the 200-meter dash. His time of 6.59 in the 55 is the second fastest in the conference this season, while he ran a mark of 23.37 in the 200. He also ran a leg in the 4x200 relay which placed second at the meet.

Lawrence earned a victory in her only event at the Susquehanna Indoor Open. She earned a first-place finish in the high jump with a personal-best leap of 1.57 meters. That height ranks as the second-highest total in the Landmark Conference this season.  

The Athlete of the Week selections are made by the Landmark Conference office. The conference chooses athletes of the week in men's and women's basketball, track, field and swimming/diving during the winter sports seasons.
