held Thursday through Saturday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.
The

Penn Relays, which has been held annually since 1895 and draws 22,000
athletes from 60 countries as well as over 100,000 fans to the

Last year, Fisher finished

Division III indoor championship in the event. Clark's career outdoor best in the event is 16 feet, 6 inches set in 2006.

Grove was honored in women's indoor track and field while McGuigan was
selected in men's swimming. They are the third and fourth Blue Jay
student-athletes to receive the MASCAC Scholar-Athlete award this

of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the Academic Integrity

homeless shelter in Harrisburg.
Academically, Grove has
a 3.85 cumulative grade-point average as a religious studies major at

McGuigan finished
second in the 200 breaststroke and third as part of the 400 medley

in February. He also earned two fourth-place relay finishes and was
sixth in the 100 breaststroke at the championships.
During the regular season, McGuigan claimed
18 individual top-three finishes during dual meets and swam in 12 relay
