Student athletes Lindsay Forrette and Jess Partlow commended by ECAC commissioner for 'tremendous act of sportsmanship'
Two members of the 新香港六合彩资料 women's cross country team were recognized recently by Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Commissioner Rudy Keeling for "a tremendous act of sportsmanship" for putting the safety of a competitor above themselves.
During the second lap of the ECAC Division III Cross Country Championship Nov. 6, 2010 at Colt State Park in Bristol, Rhode Island, a runner from Salve Regina collapsed from an asthma attack.
While many competitors in the heat of the race passed by her, two runners from 新香港六合彩资料, Lindsay Forrette, a sophmore marine biology major, and Jess Partlow, a junior medical biology major, stopped to help the runner in distress, temporarily taking themselves out ot the race to assist her.
"You should be extremely proud of your student-athletes for their selfless act of sportsmanship, and for putting the well-being of a fellow competitor above themselves," wrote Commissioner Keeling in a letter to 新香港六合彩资料 Athletic Director Kimberly Allen.
