BRIDGEWATER, Mass. – For the third straight week, Bridgewater State University senior Joshua Danner-Hicks has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week.

Danner-Hicks placed third at the ECAC Division III Championships in the triple jump with a leap of 47 feet, 0.75 inches (14.60 meters) as he garnered All-ECAC honors.
