(Nov. 3, 2010) - Former Broad Run High School football star Kenny McAdow may have changed sports but the Ashburn native is still winning as he has helped the Northeastern University rugby team earn a spot in the USA Rugby Division I Collegiate Sweet 16 tournament in the spring.

McAdow, who originally was playing football at Northeastern before the school dropped its program, helped the Maddogs rugby team defeat Boston College on Saturday, 24-13, which earned Northeastern the New England Rugby Football Union Champions title.

McAdow is playing tighthead prop (a position located on the right-hands side of the scrum) for Northeastern.
