Casey Pedone Crowned Track & Field National Athlete of the Week

Suffolk CC freshman Casey Pedone was named the Women's NJCAA Division III National Athlete of the Week by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Casey had a solid showing at the Lions Invitational this past weekend, recording a 5.45m (17-10¾) in the long jump for the 2nd-best mark in NJCAA Division III this season. Most impressive is that the Comsewogue HS grad won the event title – the 1st of her career – and did so by defeating NCAA Division I athletes from Villanova, Rider and Farleigh Dickinson. Congratulations Casey!
