NORTON, MA- Wheaton College women's indoor track and field standout Renee Thompson (Hartford, CT/Weaver) was honored as an Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Track Co-Athlete of the Week for the week ending on Sunday, January 13. The award marks the first of Thompson's career.

Thompson shared this week's award with Cabrini College senior Lauren Deas.

Wheaton, which opened its indoor season last weekend, heads to the University of Rhode Island on Saturday for the Sorlien Invitational beginning at 12:00 p.m.
