It was a battle of the 800’s at the Ivy track championship this past weekend. The result were gold medals for two Dartmouth athletes. Sophomore DJ Matusz won on the men’s side while senior Julia Fenerty added two golds to her haul with a win in the 800m as well as anchoring the 4x800m relay team to victory.
Their efforts are rewarded by being named The Richards Group Athletes of the week.
Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Athletes of the Week. Student-athletes may be chosen based upon their efforts both on and off the field of competition.
