NESCAC Track & Field All-Conference Team Announced
Johnson of Williams, McNeil of Bates Earn Sabasteanski Award as Most Outstanding Performers
HADLEY, Mass. – Following the completion of the NESCAC Men's and Women's Track and Field Championships this past Saturday at Tufts University, the conference has announced the 2010 All-NESCAC Team. The top three finishers in each event during the championship receive All-Conference recognition.
Williams senior Elise Johnson (Cleveland, Ohio) was selected by the conference coaches for the Sabasteanski Award as the Most Outstanding Female Performer at the meet. Johnson, who shared the Sabasteanski Award last spring, won the 100-meter Hurdles for the third year in a row in a time of 14.70 seconds and came away with her first victory in the 100-meter Dash (12.56). She was also third in the 200-meter Dash (25.55) and was the lead leg for the Ephs' winning 4x100-meter Relay squad (48.42).
Senior Richard McNeil (Lawrence, Mass.) became the first individual from Bates to win the Sabasteanski Award as the Most Outsdanding Male Performer since the tandem of Mike Danahy and Erik Zwick shared the honor during the Bobcats' 2000 NESCAC title performance. McNeil registerd 28 points to help his squad finish third overall, as he repeated as champion in the Hammer Throw and also won the Shot Put. After winning the Discus Throw in each of the last two springs, he placed second this year to his freshman teammate, Jesse Chapman.
Rookie Most Outstanding Performer honors went to Stephen Simalchik (Danbury, Conn.) of Williams and Kelly Allen (Norton, Mass.) of Tufts. Simalchik shattered a 25-year-old conference record in the Javelin Throw with a distance of 65.86 meters. He was also fourth in the Hammer with a toss of 49.89 meters. Allen took first place at the meet with program-record marks in the Discus Throw (43.71 meters) and Javelin (36.74). She was also second in the Shot Put (12.38) and fifth in the Hammer (41.55), as all four performances were personal bests.
After sharing Women's Coach of the Year honors last year, Williams' Fletcher Brooks earned the honor outright this spring. The second year head coach guided the Ephs to their 10th consecutive and 18th overall NESCAC title. Men's Coach of the Year went to fifth year head coach Ethan Barron of Tufts. Barron's Jumbo squad finished second at the championship, just 12 points behind Williams. It is the fourth time in the last five years that the former NESCAC Most Outstanding Performer has won the league's top coaching honor (2006, 2007, 2008).
