PITMAN, N.J. – TCNJ women's track & field's Allison Lavin was named the NJAC's Field Athlete of the Week, as announced by the conference this afternoon.

The junior grabs her first career weekly honors after taking down a 36-year-old program record over the weekend, throwing 13.65m in the shot put at the Widener Indoor Classic. The previous record, which stood at 13.183m (43 feet and 3 inches), was set by Sue Piekraz back in 1990. Lavin's record is currently the 16th-best mark in DIII this year.
