Dinerman, Ewell earn NJAC weekly track honors
CAMDEN, N.J. (Jan. 13, 2025) – The Rutgers University-Camden indoor track team competed in its first meet of the new year on Friday, running in the St. Thomas Aquinas Spartan Invite at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex on Staten Island.
The Scarlet Raptors came away with several impressive performances, including two from the men's team that earned them a pair of honors today from the New Jersey Athletic Conference.
The NJAC named its weekly awards for Men's Indoor Track and Field when it honored junior
Jacob Dinerman as the conference's Track Athlete of the Week and named freshman
Kristopher Ewell as the Rookie of the Week.
Dinerman finished eighth of 56 runners in the mile (4:23.1) and 10th of 54 at 3,000 meters (8:42.53). Ewell, meanwhile finished 22nd out of 88 athletes in the 400-meter dash (51.55) and ran on the Raptors' 4x200 team that finished 10th of 17 (1:34.61).
Both Dinerman and Ewell are earning their second varsity letter of the school year after competing with the cross country team during the fall. Ewell has competed in all three Rutgers-Camden indoor meets this season, running relays with the 4x200, 4x400 and 4x800 team, in addition to running the 400-meter dash. Dinerman has run the 4x800, the mile and the 3,000-meter run over two of the Raptors' indoor meets this season.
Dinerman was named the NJAC Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week on Sept. 9 on his way to earning All-NJAC First Team honors in cross country. He also captured Rutgers-Camden's Raptor of the Week award on Monday, adding to the two Raptor of the Week honors he earned during the fall season in cross country (Oct. 7 and Nov. 4).
