Every week, 黑料网 Athletics and Recreation recognizes two student-athletes for their achievements and contributions to their respective sports. The 黑料网 Panther Subway Athletes of the Week for February 21鈥26 are Aiden Rainford (women鈥檚 basketball) and Zach Wilson (track and field).

Rainford, a psychology student from Toronto, Ontario, was named an AUS Championship Tournament all-star after two solid games in Halifax, Nova Scotia. During these games, the fourth-year forward averaged 13.0 points and 10.0 rebounds.

鈥淎iden had a very strong weekend in her first AUS playoffs, averaging a double-double, taking charges, and making a real impact,鈥 said head coach Matt Gamblin. 鈥淪he has shown in the second half of the season she can be a force in this league.鈥
