Williams senior distance runner Lauren Philbrook (Hopkinton, MA)
and Eph head track & field coach Fletcher Brooks have been
accorded regional honors by the United States Track & Field and
Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for their exploits
this winter.
Philbrook was named the New England region's female track athlete
of the year and Brooks was named the men's track & field coach
of the year.
Philbrook, a senior co-captain at Williams, won the New England
Division III Championship 5,000 meter race by 33 seconds in
17:06.31, which was an NCAA automatic qualifying mark. Her 5,000
meter mark at the New England Championships was the best time on
the NCAA Division III performance list.
Brooks in his first season as head coach at Williams College led
the Ephs to the 2009 New England Division III title with a score of
145 points. The Ephs continued their successful season one week
later with a ninth-place finish at Division I All-New England meet.
Williams was represented at the NCAA Division III Indoor
Championships by fifth-ranked Mack Chafee in the mile and by its
fourth-ranked 4×400 meter relay squad.
