Honors

The first MIAC Indoor Track and Field Athlete-of-the-Week awards were presented this week. The men's track honor was claimed by Bethel's Zach Haskins, a senior, who set a new personal indoor best of 4:19:24 to win the mile at the St. Thomas Opener Meet. St. Thomas' sophomore Erika Tipp claimed the women's track honor winning both the 60(7.97) and 200-meter(26.76) dashes on her home track. Hamline senior Becky Culp won both the shot put and the weight throw(15.39m) at the Carleton Triangular- setting a new PR of 13.86 meters and a Carleton Fieldhouse record in the shot - to claim the second indoor field honor of her career.

University of Minnesota women's coach Gary Wilson will be given the President's Award at the Minnesota State HS Track and Field Coaches Association(MTFCA) annual clinic February 1.  The honor is for his contributions over the years to the sport of track & field and cross country in Minnesota, says Mark Alcorn, girls track coach at Holdingford HS and president of the MTFCA.
