Athlete of the Week - Michael Hardbarger


The AotW for March 16th-22nd is The Michael Hardbarger of Rochester Institute of Technology. Michael ran in the D-III Indoor Track National Championships over the weekend and qualified for the Mile final in 4:12.47. He then finished 7th in a time of 4:11.60, garnering an All-America award. He was named the Empire 8 Conference Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week for his efforts. The All-America award is the second of his career, following his 5th place finish last outdoor season in the 1500m. Looking onward, the 2009 D-III Outdoor Championships are to be hosted just across the Ohio River in Marietta College, from May 21st-23rd. Ritchie County is rumored to be already mobilizing for the invasion.
