National Athlete of the Week is an award selected and presented by the USTFCCCA Communications Staff at the beginning of each week to multiple collegiate Track and Field athletes, when applicable (male and female for each of the three NCAA divisions, the National Junior College divisions, and the NAIA).
Nominations are open to the public. Coaches and sports information directors are encouraged to nominate their student-athletes; as are student-athletes, their families and friends, and fans of their programs. Nominated athletes are noticed before those athletes found through searching TFRRS.
The award seeks to highlight not only the very best times, marks and scores on a week-to-week basis, but also performances that were significant on the national landscape and/or the latest in a series of strong outings. Quality of competition, suspenseful finishes and other factors will also play a role in the decision.
NCAA DIVISION III MEN – Jason Agyemang, Rowan
Junior | Hurdles | North Plainfield, New Jersey
IThe fastest 60-meter hurdle race in NCAA DIII history happened this past weekend at the AARTFC Indoor Championships in Ithaca, New York. Seriously.
Rowan teammates Jason Agyemang, Jamir Brown, Kwaku Nkrumah, and Marquise Young pushed each other into the record book inside the Ithaca-Athletics & Events Center. Agyemang crossed the finish line first in 7.80 and led Brown, Nkrumah and Young all under eight seconds. That mark by Agyemang made him the third fastest performer in NCAA DIII history.
Could we see even more history out of that quartet this upcoming weekend at the 2025 NCAA DIII Indoor Championships in Rochester, New York? Quite possibly. After all, the Profs have a history of showing out at the climactic meets of the season.
This is the first time in program history that an athlete from Rowan has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the indoor season.
NCAA DIVISION III woMEN – Victoria Brewster, Houghton
Sophomore | Sprints | Montour Falls, New York
Welcome to the record book, Victoria Brewster.
The speedster from Houghton became the eighth fastest performer in NCAA DIII history in the 60 meters this past weekend at the AARTFC Indoor Championships in Ithaca, New York. She went 7.51 in the final to beat the rest of the field by 0.10 seconds and prolong her undefeated season (Brewster is a perfect 6-0 in 60-meter finals in her sophomore year).
Brewster will need all of that speed this upcoming weekend at the 2025 NCAA DIII Indoor Championships. With Brewster, now four of the top-17 fastest women in NCAA DIII history will compete for a 60-meter national title in Rochester, New York.
This is the first time in program history that an athlete from Houghton has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the indoor season.
