Season Wrap-Up: 

The Women's Track  team took 3rd at the MIAC Outdoor Championship Meet, led by a 4th consecutive MIAC javelin title by Renee Erickson  ('97, New Rockford, N.D.). Erickson went on to earn second place in the javelin at the NCAA Division III National Meet at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, May 21-24, 1997.  

Erickson's 2nd place finish ended her streak of Division III national javelin titles at three. But it marked her 4th consecutive All-America season. Her athletic excellence and her 3.65 GPA in accounting also earned her a third consecutive Acadmic All-MIAC award and a second consecutive GTE Academic All-America award. 

Several other Cobbers turned in outstanding MIAC performances and qualified for nationals. Sarah Severson ('98, Ellsworth, Wisc.) followed up her MIAC indoor pentathon championship by winning the outdoor MIAC heptathlon and placing 3rd in the MIAC long jump, 6th in the triple jump and 7th in the 400 hurdles. 

Mollee Ludtke ('98, Albert Lea) took second in the MIAC 800 and ran on two relay teams that also placed at the MIAC. Ludtke, a biology major,  also earned Academic All-MIAC honors for a second time. 

Becky Kearns ('98 Hopkins) placed third in both the discus and hammer throw at the MIAC Championship Meet.
