Adrienne Power is this week's Dalhousie University Female Athlete of the Week.

Power finished her university career at the CIS championships this past weekend as one of the greatest sprinters in CIS history and led the team to a third-place overall finish. She finished the meet a triple-gold medalist and remained undefeated in her 300m career and undefeated over the past two seasons in the 60m. Power's 300m run was particularly impressive as she smashed the CIS record; taking over four-tenths of a second off of the previous mark earning her a spot on the world all-time top 20 list. In the 60m event, Power won by another impressive margin running one of the fastest times in the meet's history.

She also anchored the 4x200m relay team, where she received the baton in third place and over ten meters behind. Power flew past the lead teams to win the event by over a second; running a 23.1 relay split. Power was named Female Athlete of the Meet.

At the pre-competition awards brunch she was also named Female Track Athlete of the Year and won the Student-Athlete Community Service award for her combined excellence in academics, athletics and community service. Power is a fifth-year Commerce student from Eastern Shore, N.S.

Chafe was the lone point-scorer in the men's track and field Tigers contingent at the CIS championships this past weekend. The cross country standout made his mark in the distance event and placed sixth in the 3000m run.

Putting Dalhousie on the board, he led the team to a sixteenth place finish at the national event.

Chafe is a fourth-year History and Biology student from Railton, ON.
