SOUTH EASTON, Mass. - Former Southern Connecticut State University track and field standout Kateema Riettie has been selected as a member of the Class of 2011 for the Northeast-10 Conference Hall of Fame. In all, nine former student-athletes from nine separate institutions have been tabbed for induction into the Northeast-10 Hall of Fame.

Riettie was a two-time NCAA national champion (2001 and 2002) in the javelin for the Owls and finished as the runner-up in that event in 2003. Riettie is one of only four female student-athletes in the school's history to win a NCAA individual national championship. 

She was a two-time NE-10 Conference and New England champion in the javelin, and still holds the school record for the javelin throw at 166 feet, one inch.

Riettie was a United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic Team selection and also represented the Jamaican National Team in international competition.

During the course of the upcoming 2011-2012 academic year, each new member of the Hall of Fame will be recognized and honored by their respective schools.
