CENTER VALLEY, PA - Sophomore Briyah Brown and freshman Abby Halbrook of the Army West Point women's track and field team have earned Patriot League Field Athlete of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors, the league announced Monday. Halbrook was named the Rookie of the Week for the second-consecutive week. This is the fourth time this season that the Tyler, Texas, native has been recognized by the Patriot League. Brown earned her first Field Athlete of the Week honors of the 2015-16 season.

"It's one thing to win them in the beginning of the year and another to win them going into the championship season and the meets that matter. It's encouraging that they're at the top of their game and performing at a high level." Halbrook recorded Army's sixth-best 1500m time in history at 4:33.88 at Saturday's Penn Challenge. Read More
