Macon, Ga. -- Gardner-Webb's Dobson Collins was named A-Sun Athlete of the Week today by the conference office.

The rookie from Stone Mountain, Ga., broke the school record in the 110H with a time of 15.12 at the Clemson Orange and Purple Classic last weekend. Collins is a two-sport star for the Bulldogs, splitting his time between football and track and field.

This is Collins' first Athlete of the Week award and the fourth for a Gardner-Webb student-athlete.

The Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Week is announced every Wednesday during the 2006 outdoor track season.

The 11-member league headquartered in Macon, Ga., consists of Belmont, Campbell, ETSU, Florida Atlantic, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, North Florida and Stetson.
