Hannah Chappell-Dick, Bluffton High School grad, is the Eastern Mennonite University Royals Athlete of the Week for Jan. 14-20.  She is in her first year at Eastern Mennonite and has found a nice fit with the women’s cross country and track teams. Chappell-Dick is majoring in biology and working on a minor in exercise science.

She was recognized as part of the Royals All-Academic Team for her fall academic performance. 

This past weekend the freshman shattered the EMU 800m record at the Orange & Maroon Classic in Selinsgrove, Pa., by more than seven seconds, finishing in 2:20.23.  She also ran on the 4x400 meter relay team which took third with a time of 4:23.78.

The 400 and the 800 will be Chappell-Dick’s strongest events in the indoor season, but she is also dabbling with the high jump.
