career at Youngstown State with a

4x400-meter relay tandem of Papis
Joh, Ryan Strzalka, Adam Lewis and

While Michaelis fell short of qualifying for the NCAA

of the greatest careers of any
Youngstown State athlete in history.
He became YSU's
first Division I All-American as he
finished ninth in the 1,500-meters
at the 2003 NCAA Indoor Track &
Field Championships and is the only
two-time YSU Scholar-Athlete of the
Year in the award's 17-year history.
He qualified for the NCAA Mideast
Regional in five events spanning
over two years and was an eight-time
conference champion. He was
also named Horizon League Indoor
Athlete of the Year in 2003 and
Outstanding Running Performer during
the 2004 outdoor season. |
