TOWSON, Md. – Sophomore Sage Hendershot of the Drew University women's indoor track & field team has been selected as the Landmark Conference Field Athlete of the Week.
 
Hendershot turned in a tremendous showing in the long jump at the Wagner Seahawk Shootout, held at Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island this past Friday. Six days after winning the event at the team's season opener, she sailed 5.66 meters (18-7), smashing her own school record by over eight inches. She came in third in a field of 46 and was the top Division III finisher, placing behind only Ija Mumford of Howard (19-5) and Rett Schnoorf of Monmouth (18-7 1/2). She is now ranked sixth in Division III in the event.
 
Hendershot also placed 16th in a field of 74 in the 60-meter dash, clocking a 7.95 to win her heat and finish as the top Division III competitor.
 
The Rangers continue their season on Jan. 17, when they compete in the Ramapo College Season Opener, held at The Armory in New York City.
