ROCHESTER, NY - Junior Erin LaFave (Troy, MI/Bloomfield Hills Lahser) and freshman Amanda White (Watertown, NY/Watertown) of RIT's women's track and field team, along with senior Zach Miller (Ironville, PA/Hempfield) and freshman Jamie Dorren (Irondequoit, NY/Irondequoit) of the RIT men's track and field squad swept the Liberty League weekly honors for the week ending May 20, 2012. LaFave and Miller were the Track Athletes of the Week, while White and Dorren were the Rookies of the Week.

For the second straight week, LaFave broke both the RIT school mark and United States National Deaf Athlete record twice in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. On May 12, she recorded a time of 11:09.38 at the Oneonta State May Meet. Just five days later, LaFave re-broke the record by nearly nine seconds in 11:00.74 at the ECAC Championships, which is the 25th best in Division III this season.

White recorded a fifth place finish in the 800-meters, recording a personal best time of 2:15.10 at the ECAC Championships.

Miller recorded a strong third place finish in the 10,000-meter run at the ECAC Champiosnhips with a time of 31:23.80. He helped RIT to a 17th place finish, scoring more than a third of RIT's points.

Dorren recorded a personal best leap of 2.06 meters at the College of Jersey Last Chance meet. That leap is tied for the 12th best in Division III this year and is just off of RIT's school record in the event of 2.09 meters, set by Willie Barkley in 2006.

LaFave, Dorren, and Jen Adams (Batavia, NY/Batavia) will compete at the 2012 NCAA Championships on May 24-26 in Claremont, Calif.
