WINTHROP, Mass. – After posting a personal-best performance Saturday at the Wesleyan Indoor Invitational, Justin Thuotte (Lebanon, Conn.) has been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Men's Field Athlete of the Week, as announced Monday, Jan. 29, by the league office.

Thuotte posted the top individual placement among the Regis men Saturday as he finished second in the pole vault with a personal-best mark of 3.80 meters (12' 5.5"). Thuotte also finished ninth in the triple jump with a mark of 11.91 meters (39' 1").
