HADLEY, Mass. - Following the completion of the NESCAC Men's and Women's Track and Field Championships this past Saturday at Tufts University, the NESCAC has announced its 2013 All-Conference Teams. The top three finishers in each event during the championship receive All-Conference recognition.

Bates senior David Pless and Tufts junior Graham Beutler shared the honor of the Sabasteanski Award as the Most Outstanding Male Performers. Pless collected his second straight Sabasteanski Award after winning three events for the second straight year. Pless broke the NESCAC meet and Ellis Oval/Dussault Track record with his 60'0" (18.30m) throw in the Shot Put. He is currently ranked number one in the nation in the Shot Put and top 10 in both the Discus and Hammer Throw. His Discus throw reached 164'09" (50.22m), while he heaved 190'08" (58.11) in the Hammer Throw.

Beutler won the 200-meter Dash (21.80) and the 400-meter Run (48.30), both in personal best times. He also anchored the second place 4x100-meter Relay and winning 4x400-meter Relay. The Sabasteanski Award is named in honor of the late Frank Sabasteanski, who graduated from Bowdoin and later led the cross country and track and field programs at the college for 28 years.

Tufts senior Kelly Allen was named the Sabasteanski Award winner as the Most Outstanding Female Performer. This is Allen's second Sabasteanski Award, having received the same honor in 2011. Allen won three events to lead the Jumbos to their first NESCAC Championship since 1988. Allen's three victories included a 43'1" throw (13.13m) in the Shot Put, a 153'2" (46.69m) in the Discus, and a 172'10" (52.67m) in the Hammer Throw. Her Discus victory was the fourth of her career, and she also defended her Shot Put title. Allen also placed third in the Javelin with a throw of 121'6" (37.04m) to score 36 points for Tufts. Allen finishes NESCAC competition with eight career victories in championship meet appearances.

Rookie Most Outstanding Performer honors went to Mitchell Black of Tufts and Alexis Walker of Wesleyan. Black placed second in the 800-meter Run and the Triple Jump and also led off the 4x400-meter Relay. Walker accounted for 28 individual points and also contributed to a third-place finish in the 4x100-meter Relay as Wesleyan's top gun during the meet. Her first-place leap of 18'5" in the Long Jump broke her own school record by 1-1/4 inches. She also won the 100-meter Dash with a 12.29 clocking, while her time of 25:53 earned her runner-up status in the 200-meter Dash.

Tufts University swept the coaching awards, with Ethan Barron's staff earning Men's Track and Field Coaching Staff of the Year. Barron was the Coach of the Year in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2010 and collected his fifth honor with his staff after leading Tufts to its first men's track and field championship since 1991. The Tufts women's coaching staff, led by head coach Kristen Morwick, was selected at the Women's Track and Field Coaching Staff of the Year. Morwick was Coach of the Year in 2012, and with her staff, led the Jumbos to a 203 point showing for their first conference championship since 1988.
