D.J. Jarrett, a former standout at Kennedy, has been showing what a terrific all-around student-athlete he is at Post University.
Jarrett, a senior, was recently named Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Student-Athlete of the Month. The award goes to a student-athlete who excels on the court, in the classroom, and in the community, according to a league press release. Jarrett easily satisfied all three requirements.
For Jarrett, it goes beyond the box score and what happens on the court. Besides helping the Eagles near the top of the CACC’s North Division, Jarrett sports a 3.20 grade point average as a sports management major. Outside of school, Jarrett has contributed to the Waterbury community and beyond by helping out.
Jarrett has played in all 20 games, including one start. He is averaging 7.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 15 minutes per contest.
Connor Baston, Suffolk University indoor track and field
This former St. Paul standout earned another Great Northeast Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week Award for his efforts.
And he again lowered his GNAC-best time in the 200 meters. Baston’s time of 23.15 seconds in the 200 at last weekend’s John Terrier Invitational (Boston University) is also a personal best.
Baston also competed in the 60 meters and finished in 7.42 seconds. The Rookie of the Week honor is the second for Baston, who shared it earlier in the season with Simon Vinci of Saint Joseph’s College of Maine.
