ROCK HILL, S.C. – Emory & Henry University junior Madison Ricketts has been selected as the South Atlantic Conference Women's Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week, SAC officials announced Tuesday. This year, the SAC Players of the Week are being sponsored by WePlayed Sports.

This marks the first time in Ricketts' career that she has earned weekly honors from the league.

Ricketts is part of Emory & Henry's clean sweep of the SAC Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week this week. Junior Gavin Lee (North Tazewell, Va.), sophomore Will Humphrey, II (Charlotte, N.C.), and freshman Mia Spangler (Floyd, Va.) also received recognition for their accomplishments.

The Kingsport, Tennessee native picked up a pair of event wins at the inaugural Blue & Gold Track Classic at E&H's Food City Sports Complex on Saturday. She won the 200 meters in a personal-best time of 27.30 seconds and crossed the line first in the 400 meters in 1:03.23.

Emory & Henry will compete in the South Atlantic Conference Championships beginning on Wednesday. Lenoir-Rhyne University will host the two-day meet at Irwin Belk Track at the Moretz Sports Complex.
