New Haven, Conn. - Holy Family University junior Shane King (Elizabeth, N.J./Elizabeth) was listed as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Men's Track & Field Athlete of the Week for the week ending March 22 as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. 

In the 2015 outdoor season opener at the third annual Philadelphia College Classic at historic Franklin Field hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, King recorded three top-15 finishes. 

King highlighted the afternoon with a second place finish in the long jump event. He recorded a distance of 22' 4.5" (6.82m); just shy of his school record of 22' 8.0" set at the Roadrunner Tune Up that closed out the indoor season. 

In addition, King finished seventh overall in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.67 seconds and followed up with an 11th place finish in the 200 with a time of 23.22 seconds, which set a new personal-best time. 

Holy Family is back in action on Wednesday, April 1 as the Tigers take part in the Oscar Moore Open hosted by Rowan University.
