BOSTON and WORCESTER, Mass. – The second annual Turnpike Trophy Top Performers vote has taken place with Kyle Falkstrom (men's swimming) and Caitlin Weimar (women's basketball) as Boston University's top vote-getters. Their performances were among many that helped the Terriers win the rivalry competion against Holy Cross for the seventh straight time.Â
Falkstrom and Weimar were joined on the 2023-24 Turnpike Trophy Top Performers list by Caleb Kenney (men's basketball) and Alexia Moreau (women's ice hockey) from Holy Cross.

Each school conducted polls with three female nominees and three male nominees based on their performances in BU-Holy Cross competitions over the past year.Â

Falkstrom had two wins and set a pair of pool records in a 212-82 dual victory over the Crusaders in Worcester on Dec. 2. He set the 100- and 200-yard breast marks at the Hart Center Pool and was also part of a 200 medley relay that set a pool record.Â
Exactly three months later, Weimar scored 25 points, including the game-winning shot, on her Senior Day to help the Terriers erase a 21-point deficit in a 66-63 comeback triumph over the Crusaders.Â
Â
BU's other nominees were Payton Anderson (field hockey), Colin Innes (men's soccer), Brenden Kelly (men's lacrosse) and Kasey Ricard (softball). Â
The Terriers posted a 15-8 victory over Holy Cross in this year's Turnpike Trophy race with regular-season wins from field hockey, men's soccer, women's swimming & diving, men's swimming & diving, women's ice hockey, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's lacrosse, women's tennis, men's tennis, softball (3) and women's golf.

The Terriers will visit Holy Cross for women's and men's soccer on Oct. 16 and Nov. 5, respectively.
