The versatile Rutherford claims the Road Runner Sports NEC Rookie of the Week award for the second consecutive occasion. A week after posting the NEC’s second-fastest 60-meter hurdles time at Yale’s Giegengack Invitational, the first-year Hawk logged conference’s fourth-best 500-meter performance (1:04.33) at the Lafayette-Rider Winter Games. Rutherford’s 500m time qualified him for the IC4A Championships and placed him fourth at the meet.
