Amundsen and Schweitzer Earn the Richards Group Athletes of the Week Honors

HANOVER, N.H.— Men's basketball's Connor Amundsen and women's track and field's Mariella Schweitzer have earned 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.

Connor Amundsen, Fy., Fresno, Calif.
Amundsen averaged 19.0 points per game in a team high 35.4 minutes per contest last week. At Notre Dame, he had two rebounds, two assists and two steals with 10 points. At UMass Lowell, he shot 8-16 from the field, 6-8 from three and 6-6 from the charity stripe, scoring a career high 28 points. The 28 points is the most by a first year at Dartmouth in at least 20 years. Amundsen also had the most points by an Ivy League first-year since Harvard's Malik Mack scored 32 at UMass on Nov. 17, 2023 as well as the ninth most by a first-year in a game this season in all of Division I men's basketball.

Mariella Schweitzer, Jr., Redding, Conn.
Mariella Schweitzer won the women's long jump recording a distance of 5.85m. The distance ties for third on the Dartmouth all-time list. On the running side, Schweitzer ran a 7.75 in the 60m. She took first in the event and now sits ninth on the all-time list for the women's 60m.
