HockomockSports,com: "Franklin’s Atkinson Recognized for Work On and Off the Track"

Josh Perry, Managing Editor of HockomockSports.com has a nice article providing an update on FHS alumni Halle Atkinson.
"In August, Providence College announced that Franklin alum Halle Atkinson was the school’s nominee for the prestigious 2023 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Atkinson, who played soccer and lacrosse at Franklin in addition to running indoor track, was recognized for her success as a runner on PC’s cross-country and track teams as well as her numerous community service efforts.

Atkinson is one of 619 female student-athletes that were nominated across all three divisions. The NCAA Woman of the Year Award, according to a release from the school, recognizes “graduating female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.”

During her four years at PC, Atkinson has participated in Adopt a Family, the Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, the Friar 5K Road Race, Girls on the Run Rhode Island, Special Olympics Rhode Island, and the Relay for Life. She has also taken time out to be a tutor and a mentor to younger students by serving as a FriarEdge Family Captain, helping freshman athletes make the transition from high school to college.

“It was a little bit of shock,’ Atkinson said when asked about her reaction to the news that she had been nominated. “I was so honored but for a second, when I first read it, I was like wow they really think of me in that high of regard?”

Currently going for her MBA in accounting and rehabbing an offseason injury that will keep her from participating in cross-country this fall, Atkinson is ready for a fifth year of indoor and outdoor track. Knowing the talent and commitment level of her teammates made the nomination extra special."
