LOWELL, Mass. – Sophomore Daniel Kennedy (Tolland, Conn.) of the UMass Lowell men's track & field team has been named River Hawk of the Week. 

The sprinter made history last weekend at the 2025 NEICAAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship, breaking the school record in the 100m dash when he zoomed to a time of 10.45. 

The performance gave him a top-three finish in the event, and he was also a member of the second-place 4x100m team, who picked up a time of 41.21.

The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
