| M-C Men Sweep Conference Awards |
POSTED 1:50 p-m 1/26/10 Monmouth College officials say a "substantial" improvement by Logan Hohl (Orion, Ill./Orion) and Nick Byom (Gilson, Ill./Knoxville) at last week's Midwest Invitational has earned the pair the Midwest Conference's Performer of the Week awards in men's track and field.
Hohl, a junior physical education major, didn't take long to run a provisional qualifying time in the 55-meter hurdles. He clocked a provisional time of 7.72 to win the event at last Saturday's home meet. The time ranks him fourth in the nation. Hohl also ran a leg on the second place 4x400 relay which clocked a conference-best 3:29.63.
Byom, a junior chemistry major, nearly punched his automatic ticket to the NCAA Indoor Championships last week. Competing at his home facility, Byom won the high jump clearing 6'9-3/4". The height provisionally qualified him for the national meet and was just one inch from the automatic height. He has the nation's top high jump mark this season.
