LOWELL, Mass. – Graduate student Graham Stedfast (Rowley, Mass.) has been named River Hawk of the Week after breaking the 800m school record on Saturday at the Battle Road Twilight Meet at MIT. 

Stedfast zoomed to a 1:48.47 mark, breaking the previous record of 1:48.68 that he had shared with Sean Munnelly. Munnelly held the record outright from 2018 until 2025, when Stedfast matched the mark at the 2025 America East Outdoor Championships. 

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.
