It comes as no surprise that track and field as a whole goes quite unnoticed in everyday life. Most Americans only know about it every four years when the Olympics roll around and are broadcast for two and a half weeks.

When watching college sports either in person or on television, it is very easy to get lost in the on-field performance of a freshman athlete. Most times it is those performances of the athlete that we remember without considering the pressures the scholar athlete encounters throughout the first year of college life.

This week the USM athletics program had three athletes named players of the week in their respective leagues.

Athlete of the Week: Karen Jamnik, USM Women’s Hockey Goalie
