(WPRI) - This week's Cardi's Hometown Sports Hero is Nick Schwieger. The former Bishop Feehan standout just completed a record setting career at Dartmouth, becoming the school's all-time leading rusher with 3,150 yards and 26 touchdowns.

The reigning co-MVP of the Ivy League, Schwieger helped the Big Green earn a tie for 2nd place their best finish since 2003. The former Shamrock is hoping to pursue whatever pro opportunities come up after graduation.
