Duquesne University freshman E.J. Robertson (Allison Park, PA/North Allegheny) was named the Atlantic 10 Men's Outdoor Track & Field Rookie of the Week as announced by the conference office today.

Robertson finished fourth of 29 competitors in the 800-meter run with a personal-best time of 1:55.98 at the IUP Open on Saturday, April 24. It was the second best time turned in by a Duquesne runner this season. Robertson also has Duquesne's second-best time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase and is on the school-record setting 4x1500 meter relay team.

The Dukes return to action this weekend as they travel to Rhode Island for the Atlantic 10 Championship.
