Jackson won both the long and triple jumps at the Bates Quad Meet on Saturday, and also took third place in the high jump. His mark of 1.80 meters in the high jump is tied for the highest mark in the conference.

RACINE NAMED GOALIE OF THE WEEK: For the second time this season, Lewiston grad and University of Southern Maine sophomore Cece Racine has been named the Little East Conference’s Women’s Lacrosse Goalie of the Week. The latest honor was announced by the conference Monday.

Racine stopped 16 of 23 shots in a win over Wellesley last Wednesday, then stopped all four shots she faced while playing the first half of a win over Castleton on Saturday. Racine finished the week with a .741 save-percentage.

UMF DUO WIN NAC AWARDS: University of Maine at Farmington women’s track and field teammates Emily Hargreaves and Charlotte Wentworth each picked up weekly awards from the North Atlantic Conference on Monday.
