NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Michelle Grecni (Danbury, Conn.) of the Southern Connecticut State University women's indoor track and field team was named Field Rookie of the Week by the Northeast-10 Conference for the second week in a row. Grecni managed her second straight first place finish in as many events in the pole vault and reached a NCAA provisional mark by clearing 3.5 meters at the James Barber/Wilton Wright Alumni Meet held at Moore Field House on the Southern Conn. campus this past Sunday.

Joining Grecni this week with honors, Ashley Bell (Riverhead, N.Y.), Brittany Brown (Mount Vernon, N.Y.) and Brittany Niemczyk (Vernon, Conn.) all received weekly honor roll selections.
