RICHMOND, Va. - George Mason track & field senior Everett Hackett was named the CAA Track Athlete of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.

Joining Hackett as a honoree on the men's side was W&M junior field athlete Ben Katz. UNCW senior Jordan Dawalt was tabbed as the female field athlete and W&M sophomore Elaina Balouris earned women's track athlete of the week accolades.

At the W&M Colonial Relays over the weekend, Hackett won the 5000m run while shattering the previous Mason school record with a time of 14:03.16. The previous school record, 14:04.86, had stood since 1986.
