HADLEY, Mass. -- Bates College junior Rich McNeil was named NESCAC Field Performer of the Week for the second time this season on Monday, the New England Small College Athletic Conference announced.

McNeil (Lawrence, Mass.) earns the honor after claiming top honors in the Hammer and Discus throws on Saturday at the 2009 NESCAC Track & Field Championships. McNeil recorded a distance of 52.09 meters in the Hammer and 43.11 meters in the Discus. He was also second in the Shot Put (15.29).

McNeil, now an eight-time All-NESCAC performer, one-time All-American and the 2007 NESCAC Most Outstanding Rookie Performer, also earned NESCAC Field Performer of the Week honors two weeks ago after winning the hammer, shot put and discus at the Colby Invitational.
