Freshman Rich Peters of the Boston University men's track & field team has been named this week's GoTerriers.com Student-Athlete of the Week.

At the Valentine Invitational on Saturday, Peters accomplished two feats in the mile run. He broke a school record with a time of 3:58.26 and, in the process, qualified for the NCAA championships. The Bristol, England, native bested David Proctor's old school record of 3:59.14.

Peters and the men's track & field team will return to action on Feb. 18-19 at the America East championships.
