HUNTINGTON, IN— The Huntington College athletic department announced its Athletes of the Week for the week of October 28 – November 3, 2002. Women’s volleyball senior Renee Rupp and men’s soccer junior Luke Caldwell earned the honors for their excellent efforts during the week’s competitions.

Rupp, a mathematics education major from Blissfield, Mich. (Blissfield High School), helped the women’s volleyball team to a 2-1 record over the week. Rupp, the Foresters’ setter, garnered 19 assists in a win over Manchester, 39 assists and three blocks in a victory over Tri-State, and 33 assists in a loss to St. Francis.
