BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University senior Chris Perry has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week.

A resident of Attleboro, Massachusetts, Perry was the top MASCAC performer in the triple jump at the MASCAC/New England Alliance Championships held this past weekend at Fitchburg State University. He placed second at the meet with a season-best leap of 46 feet, 9.5 inches (14.26 meters).

Perry also finished fourth in the long jump with a season-best mark of 22 feet, ten inches (6.96 meters) as he helped the Bears captured their third straight New England Alliance title.

Perry currently ranks 25th in all of Division III in the triple jump and 29th in the long jump. 

This marks Perry's sixth MASCAC Field Athlete of the Week award as he also achieved the honor five times during the winter indoor season.

Last month, Perry garnered All-American honors in both the triple jump and long jump at the NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships as he placed second (48'4.75"/14.75m) and third (22'10"/6.96m), respectively, in the two events.

Perry accounted for 14 of Bridgewater State's 20 team points at the meet as the Bears finished tied with Southern Maine for sixth place in the overall standings. It marked the highest placing by a BSU indoor or outdoor track & field team at an NCAA Championship meet in the history of the program.

Back in January, Perry broke the school indoor record in the triple jump at the Dartmouth Relays with a mark of 48 feet, 9.5 inches (14.87 meters).  He eclipsed Joshua Danner-Hicks' previous BSU indoor standard of 48 feet, six inches (14.78 meters) set last season.

Perry also equaled classmate Brian Espinosa's long jump mark of 23 feet, 4.50 inches (7.12 meters) at the ECAC Division III Championships in March.

The postseason continues for the BSU outdoor track & field teams on Friday and Saturday when they compete at the Division III New England Championships hosted by MIT.
