RICHMOND, Va. – Following the Northeastern track and field teams' successful first weekend of spring competition, the Huskies swept the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) men's weekly honors, as announced by the league on Tuesday.
 
Junior Kyle Darrow earned Men's Field Athlete of the Week, his third CAA weekly nod during his time at NU, and junior Kwame Fordwor picked up Men's Track Athlete of the Week, his first career CAA weekly accolade. Darrow also received Corvias Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week on Wednesday, March 30.
 
At the Rice University Victor Lopez Classic in Houston, Texas, March 25-26, Darrow shattered the outdoor long jump school record after taking home gold in the event with 7.78m – ranked No. 3 in the NCAA Division I East Outdoor Qualifying List.
 
The Westwood, Massachusetts native set the previous long jump record (7.72m) at the UMass Invitational last April and ranked No. 19 nationally in this season's Division I USTFCCCA preseason poll with that mark.
