Michaelis Named Indoor Athlete of the Year
Indianapolis, Ind. --
Kurt Michaelis added another
accomplishment to his already
outstanding senior indoor campaign
when the Horizon League announced
that the Toledo native is the
league's inaugural Indoor Track and
Field Athlete of the Year on
Thursday afternoon.
Michaelis, who became YSU's first Division I All-American at
the NCAA Championships on March 15,
had one of the best seasons in YSU
history. Besides finishing the
season as the ninth-best mile runner
in the nation, Michaelis was
instrumental in leading YSU to their
first Horizon League Championship in
any sport and was named League
Athlete of the Week for three
straight weeks. He also set
the school record in the mile
(4:02.71) and the 1,000-meter run
(2:28.23) and finished with the top
time recorded in the league in both
the 800 and the mile. |
