TROY, N.Y. - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) student-athlete Grace Tilton has been chosen as the Liberty League Women's Track Performer of the Week, the league has announced. This is the second time this season the senior from Concord, N.H., native has been chosen for indoor track.

At the Dartmouth Classic, Tilton won the mile in a time of 5:00.77. She beat 44 other competitors in the event, including the runner-up, who was from Dartmouth who finished in 5:03.92. It was a non-team-scoring competition.

Tilton was also honored by the league after winning the only event she entered, the 1000 meter run, in a time of 3:00.3 at the season-opening Bowdoin Invitational in early January. The Engineers finished second in that meet with 163 points, which trailed Bowdoin (246) and bested Conn College (107).

Tilton was the 2013 Liberty League Runner of the Year in cross country, earning a trip to the NCAA Championships after winning both the league and state titles. Indoors, the former Concord High School standout helped the 2012 Distance Medley team to a third place finish at the league meet.

Both RPI indoor track & field teams compete on Saturday at SUNY Brockport beginning at 10am.
