A student athlete at Rowan University is a candidate for the Division III Athlete of the Year award.
Field hockey player Kristiina Castagnola, a Voorhees native, is No. 1 at the university’s all-time scoring list. She also led the Profs to their first No. 1 ranking in 20 years and then all the way to the national semifinals.
After the season, Castagnola was named the National Field Hockey Player of the Year, the first Rowan player to do so.
She is now up against 10 other athletes from around the country for the most prestigious award in Division III sports -- Athlete of the Year.
The award will be announced in June in Los Angeles.
