Gleason, Derek Peterson MIAC Athletes of the Week

Hamline swept the MIAC honors this week as junior Brandon Gleason was named the Indoor Track Athlete of the Week and sophomore Derek Peterson is Field Athlete of the Week. Gleason finished third in the mile at the Snowshoe Open at the University of Minnesota on Friday. Peterson(pictured here) had personal best throws on five of his six attempts at the Snowshoe meet with his furthest toss, 51' 5", placing him sixth.

Both Gleason and Peterson gained provisional NCAA Division III qualifying marks. Gleason's time in the mile of 4:14.30 ranks him tenth among Division III runners and is the fastest mile run by an MIAC runner since the NCAA switched from the 1,500 meters to the mile run. Peterson's throw ranks him 15th in NCAA Division III.
