May 18, 2009 PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - Freshman Eunice Jones (Lanham, Md.) and senior Russel Deutschmann (Baden, Ontario) have been named University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) Athletes of the Week for the period ending May 17.
Jones of the women's track and field team qualified for NCAA East Regional competition in the 800 meters in a personal-best time of 2:08.14 at the Georgia Tech Invitational on May 16. In all, 14 different Hawks have qualified to run at regionals at Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T on May 29-30.
Deutschmann of the baseball team went 3-for-8 in the Hawks' two losses at the MEAC Tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla., last week. He had one single in UMES' 12-2 defeat at the hands of Florida A&M and followed that up with two more knocks against Norfolk State in a 4-0 setback to close the season.
The first baseman's performance landed him on the all-tournament team, one of two Hawks to earn that distinction this year.
The Hawks ended the year as arguably one the most improved teams at UMES with a 14-42 overall mark, including a 9-9 record in conference play.
