Here's this week's run-down:The Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference named St. Thomas pole vaulter Matt Schroeder, St. Mary's thrower Amanda Weinmann, and St. Olaf distance runner Jenna Carlson and thrower Stacy Griffin, their Athletes of the Week.
Likewise, shot putter Amanda Kunkel of St. Cloud State and pole vaulter Katelin Rains and high jumper Jim Dilling (pictured) of Minnesota State Mankato were named the North Central Conference Athletes of the Week.
