Bobby Staten Earns Atlantic 10 Co-Performer of the Week

Jan. 19, 2009

PHILADELPHIA--Redshirt senior Bobby Staten (Bethel Park, Pa./Bethel Park) garnered A-10 Co-Performer of the Week accolades for the week ending January 18. Staten broke the school record in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.82, which also qualified him for the IC4A Championship in March.

Staten, who is tops in the A-10 in the 60-meter dash, sprinted to the 6.82 mark in the preliminaries at the NYC Gotham Cup. He would go on to finish second in the finals, running 6.85.

Staten shared the award with Charlotte's Darius Law who set a school record in the 400-meter dash.

This is the first award of the year for Staten as well as the first conference recognition for any SJU athlete in the 2009 track season. The Hawks will travel to the Ursinus Invitational on Friday. The first event is set to kick off at 3:00 p.m.
