NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The Atlantic 10 Conference named
Will Stewart its Outdoor Track & Field Men's Rookie of the Week, the league announced on Wednesday.

Competing in the Gary Wieneke Memorial at the University of Illinois last weekend, Stewart set a new school record in the 200 meters with a time of 21.48. That was the fastest 200-meter time in the A-10 last week and ranks as the fourth fastest in the league this season, and first among freshman.
