NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Announced by the league office today, Temple women's track & field freshman Victoria Gocht was named Atlantic 10 Women's Indoor Track & Field Rookie of the Week, for the week ending January 18.

Gocht (Dresher, Pa./Upper Dublin) shattered the Temple school record in the 800m at College Saturday Night at the Armory, running a conference-best time of 2:09.93. Her finish was good enough for first place in the event and also met ECAC qualifying standards.
