Sam Gilly of Trine and Ethan Anderson of Calvin earned Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) on Tuesday for meets through Jan. 31.
Gilly, a senior from St. Joseph, Ill., won field athlete accolades after setting a new school record at Trine for the weight throw at the Don and Riley Zimmer Indoor Classic last weekend. Gilly's throw of 58-3 marked the second time he has set a new program-best mark this year. His throw rates fourth best in the nation for Division III this year.
Anderson, a senior from Stillwater, Minn., claimed track athlete laurels following a 12th place finish in the 3000 meter run last weekend at the Grand Valley State University Mike Lints Open. He crossed the finish in a time of 8:38.62 that currently tops the MIAA.
