ULM Crowns Six Champions at Conference Meet, Most in 20 Years

MONROE, La. – For the fi rst time since 1995, the ULM men’s and women’s track & fi eld programs combined for a total of six fi rst-place showings aft er a huge outing at the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Championships.

It wasn’t in just one or two categories either. It was across the board in sprints, jumps, throws, a relay race and the decathlon.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with how both of our teams performed last week-end. Our kids left in the middle of fi nals week having wrapped up their academic year early and had super performances over the four days of the meet,” said ULM head coach J.D. Malone. “Obvi-ously, the staff was concerned about the teams’ mental state because it was very stressful taking fi nals early, much less compressing a fi ve day span into three, but they really came through. We had a wonderful weekend and I are very proud of our kids.”

Th e Warhawks earned victories from se-nior Isaac Grieder in the decathlon, ju-nior Joey Womack in the men’s javelin, sophomore Mi’Ca Lowe in the women’s javelin, sophomore Adriunna Brown in the women’s long jump, junior Andrew Tate in the men’s 400m and the men’s 4x400m close it out with a win.

ULM totaled 11 All-Conference student-athletes, including eight on the First-Team.

Additionally, the Warhawks saw both an all-time school and conference championship record fall with Grieder’s astounding 7,301 points in the 10-event decathlon.

“I felt confi dent about where I was at heading into the weekend. I knew that

if I had a really good turnout then I was going to win it,” Grieder said.

Grieder, a native of Garland, Texas, broke a 26-year old ULM record of 7,218 points set by Falk Schade in 1989. He also snapped the SBC Champion-ships record of 7,292 set by Ethan Tur-pen of Arkansas State in 2014. Grieder set personal-records in four of the 10 events.

“I knew if everything came to place then I would have had a really good chance to break the record. It really hit in aft er the pole vault on the second day. I had a really good jump that nobody expected, I didn’t even expect it. Th at’s when it really set in,” Grieder said.

Grieder qualifi ed for NCAA Regionals last season in the pole vault and consid-ered it to be one of his strongest events. Needless to say, his vault of 5.07m blew

away the competition. It scored him 932 points which was 122 points more than the second-place competitor in the event.

Grieder, who also holds the school re-cord in the indoor heptathlon, will now await to see whether he will make it into the NCAA Finals in Eugene, Ore., on June 10-13. His score has to hold up among top-24 in the country since there are no NCAA Regionals for the decathlon.

In throws, ULM swept gold medals in the men’s and women’s javelin as both Womack and Lowe were crowned champions.

Womack, who had taken second and third-place in the competition his fi rst two years, had to overcome adversity aft er getting hurt on his fi rst throw of the competition.

“Aft er my fi rst throw I felt a pop in my groin. It hurt a lot and it scared me when it happened, especially because two UL-Lafayette guys had great throws on their fi rst attempts. My confi dence was down aft er that and I was nervous,” Womack said.

“Th ough, I got wrapped up by our trainer and thankfully I was able to push through it with team support yell-ing behind me.”

Th e West Monroe, La., product stepped up on his fi nal throw and fi red a 65.34m which was more-than enough to over-take Robert King’s (South Alabama) 63.51m.

“My results from the last two years really pushed me. I had a silver and a bronze in my trophy case and I really wanted to complete the collection. I Andrew TateAndrew Tate

defi nitely wanted to come out with the gold.”

Conversely on the women’s side, Lowe was in command the whole way. She was atop the leaderboards aft er her fi rst throw and tossed her best on her third attempt, 45.50m. Th e throw was nearly a full meter farther than the runner-up.

“I just went in focused on the things that coach told me. I knew what I was capable of, and I just went in with that mind-set that today is the day and I had to step-up and pull it out,” Lowe said.

Lowe, from Walker, La., will look qual-ify for NCAA Regionals for the second consecutive year.

“I didn’t do as well as I wanted to last year at regionals as a freshman, but it didn’t matter. Th e experience helped a lot and it taught me how to approach the competition,” Lowe said.

In the sand, Brown edged out the long jump title on a tiebreak. Her leap of 5.99m tied UL-Lafayette’s Tia Mitchell, and thus the crown was decided on each competitor’s second-best jump. Brown’s mark of 5.96m was just ahead of Mitch-ell’s 5.95m.

“I just tried to stay focused. I came into

it looking for a personal-record to get a higher score for regionals, so I wasn’t too worried about the competition as I was about improving my marks,” Brown said.

Brown, a product of Macon, Ga., also competed in the 400m hurdles where she notched a top-fi ve time of 1:02.30. In the two events combined, she racked up 14 points, the most for the ULM women.

“Coach taught me a few things and helped me perfect my runs and boost my standards. My main focus at prac-tice is usually with the sprint and hurdles group, but twice I week I will work with jumps. It’s not hard, but it’s a lot on your body,” Brown said.

Closing it out on the fi nal day, Tate won both the 400m and was a member of the champion 4x400m relay team. Coming into the meet, Tate was just 0.07 seconds away from breaking the school record in the 400m with a time of 46.42 at the Leon Johnson Invitational in the fi nal regular season competition. He came short of the school record at the SBC Championships, but his time of 47.13 was still good for gold.

“I entered the race with the fastest time so I was confi dent coming in. I was ac-tually trying to break the school record,” Tate said. “I came close to it and was a

little bit disappointment that it didn’t happen, but it’s still the goal. Perhaps God has a plan

for me to do it at regionals or maybe even nationals.”

Just 90 minutes later, the Schertz, Texas native was back on the track with his teammates running the 4x400m relay in front of a chaotic crowd. Alongside senior Jamel Sams and juniors Nigel Cribbs and Mark Demus, the crew etched a season-best time of 3:09.47. It crushed their previous best of 3:14.54.

“I was happy but I was also expecting it due to the fact that we got second last year. We actually beat the same team that we lost to last year,” said Tate. “Th e atmosphere was what made the 4x4 the best race.”

J.D. Malone enters the 2015-16 school year in his 17th season as the head coach of the War-hawk track & fi eld program, and his 23rd year overall with the institution. Malone has had the second longest tenure of any coach in ULM history, behind only storied coach Bob Groseclose.

Th e year prior, Malone coached nine Outdoor All-Conference student-athletes including SBC Champion Jamel Sams in the 400m hurdles.

Brian Wickstrom is entering his third year as the director of athletics at ULM. He was introduced as the director of athletics by ULM president Dr. Nick Bruno at a July 2, 2013 press conference.

In Wickstrom’s second year at ULM, the football program fi nished its fundraising goal for the endzone facility and an offi cial ground breaking ceremony was held on March 2, 2015. Construction of the facility offi cially began in April of 2015 and the project has an expected completion time of eight to 10 months. This is the fi rst privately funded facility in the history of ULM Athletics.

Men’s basketball had a banner season as the program won a total of 24 games and became the fi rst-ever Sun Belt program to play a game in the month of April. During this run, attendance set all-time highs over the past 20-years. Not only have athletics programs been competitive on the court, but in Wickstrom’s two years at ULM, a total of 285 student athletes have been honored at the annual Maroon and Gold Banquet for posting a 3.0 GPA or higher.

During year one at ULM, Wickstrom has had an impact on athletic facilities as baseball, soccer and tennis all added

to their current facility. Wickstrom also secured funding for the expansion of the sand volleyball courts.

In addition to various upgrades at baseball, soccer and tennis, Wickstrom, in a three-month span, raised $2.98 million in major gifts for the football endzone facility project. Wickstrom also has been a part of securing the top 5 gifts in ULM Athletics history. Wickstrom also oversaw the addition of ”Tailgate Terrace” for fans to tailgate during home games. New fi eld turf has been installed thanks to the largest commitment in the history of ULM athletics and going forward, the new home for football will be JPS Field at Malone Stadium.

Men’s and women’s basketball saw the addition of special courtside seating for the 2013-14 season and fi ve diff erent sports set new single-game and season attendance records in 2013-14 (sand volleyball, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball).

In 2013-14, the athletic department outsourced its ticket sales and management to The Aspire Group, while outsourcing sponsorship sales to Learfi eld Sports. The department also launched a new offi cial online merchandise store as well as an auction website and a new photo store.

Prior to arriving in Monroe, Wickstrom served as the director of intercollegiate athletics at UC Riverside from 2011-13. During his tenure, Wickstrom established an $80 million dollar multipurpose facility (project on hold as of Sept. 2013), while the athletic department also completed a track facility renovation ($2.8 million) and a basketball practice facility renovation ($1.2 million).

A men’s basketball APR improvement plan was also implemented as the men’s basketball program posted a 989

during the 2011-12 year versus a 887 score the year prior to Wickstrom’s arrival. He also initiated and completed a logo/rebranding eff ort that involved the community, alumni and students and also increased overall involvement.

Wickstrom spent the previous fi ve years as a member of the UTEP staff where he was involved in all phases of the day-to-day operations of the department including the supervision, hiring, and evaluation of staff and coaches, working with a $20 million athletics operating budget. Wickstrom oversaw all areas of External Relations while serving as the sports administrator for a number of Miners sports including the UTEP men’s basketball program and football operations.

Wickstrom was also heavily involved with the planning, design and fundraising eff orts for the state-of-the-art Foster Stevens Basketball Center.

In Wickstrom’s tenure, the Miner Athletic Club produced the top two annual fund incomes in the history of UTEP Athletics and the three highest football season ticket numbers in the history of the program were reached.

Wickstrom was instrumental in securing the 2011 C-USA Men’s and Women’s Basketball tournament for El Paso. The tournament produced close to $1,000,000 net of expenses for the conference.

A native of Overland Park, Kan., Wickstrom arrived at UTEP after spending two years as assistant athletic director for development and business partnerships at the University of Michigan. In his time there, he served as the primary contact for $5.4 million dollars in corporate sponsorships along with cultivating, soliciting and securing $15.6 million in commitments for the Capital Campaign.

Wickstrom was associate athletics director at Santa Clara University from 2001-03. He served as the sports administrator for women’s basketball and directed development eff orts that produced $8.2 million in commitments over a one-year period. Wickstrom also oversaw the $42.8 million Athletics Capital Campaign.

He started his career in collegiate athletics at the University of Missouri from 1999-2000. As assistant director of athletic development, Wickstrom’s primary focus was the department’s $100 million capital campaign

and facility fundraising projects.

Wickstrom was a track and fi eld athlete at Kansas State University, earning his undergraduate degree in business administration/fi nance in 1991. He added an MBA masters of business administration/management from K-State in 1992. Wickstrom completed his master’s in sports administration from Ohio University in 1999 and his doctorate in educational leadership from Eastern Michigan University in 2006.

While at UTEP, Wickstrom was heavily involved in the community, as evidenced by his appointment to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board by the Mayor of El Paso. He also served on the United Way Resource Allocation Committee.

He and his wife Celina have three sons, Vince, John Christian and David Grant and one daughter, Bricelle Leigh.

SUN bELT CONFERENCEIs the Sun Belt Conference a modern-day fixture among the decision-makers in the ever-changing world of college athletics?

Or is the league a long-time innovator, responsible for advancements in many sports that we now take for granted?

Is the Sun Belt home of an alumni base that includes national and international leaders in the areas of government, business and enter-tainment as well as athletics?

Or is the conference one that has established itself as a national con-tender in a variety of sports, and one that continues to evolve in ways that directly benefit its institutions and more importantly its student-athletes?

The answer is yes, yes, yes and yes.

The Sun Belt Conference’s “Together We Rise” motto isn’t just hyper-bole. It’s proven fact on many different levels, not the least being its place in the hierarchy of collegiate athletics. As the league prepares to celebrate four decades since its founding in 1976, the Sun Belt occu-pies a “seat at the table” as a permanent part of the NCAA’s 24-member Board of Directors. That alone insures that the conference has a voice in determining the future as college sports continues to change and evolve.

Changing and evolving have been hallmarks of the league since its existence. College basketball might be a shadow of its current self had the Sun Belt not led the way in the establishment of the shot clock. The conference also wrote history at the start of the century when it inaugurated football as a league sport – becoming the first already-existing Division I conference to take such action.

The Sun Belt was originally founded to give home to some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams, and the league’s history is dotted with success in many different men’s and women’s sports through its history. But when the desire for a higher national profile and the desire of its membership brought about football sponsorship in 2001, the conference was figuratively reborn, and now stands as one of the 10 premier college football leagues in the country.

And, with the recent debut of the College Football Playoff, the Sun Belt is guaranteed universal access based strictly on performance. A worthy football team in the Sun Belt can be in the national champion-ship picture, and the league is a permanent part of the “Group of Five” conferences (joining the American Athletic Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA) that will send its highest-rated champion to a premier Jan. 1 bowl game.

In only 15 years of football, the Sun Belt has earned ties to no fewer than seven bowl games. In addition to the potential of the College Football Playoff, the league has guaranteed spots in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl and the new Cure Bowl for bowl-eligible teams each and every season. Beginning in 2016, the Sun Belt will also be part of a confer-ence rotation that will send teams to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl.

No football conference in history has ever boasted as many bowl rela-tionships in its first two decades of existence, but such breakthroughs have been the rule rather than the exception for a league that con-tinues to exceed expectations. Just in the last three seasons, league members have recorded 52 non-conference wins including a record 21 victories outside the league in 2013. The Sun Belt also has a winning record over its fellow “Group of Five” conferences over the past two seasons, and has claimed three bowl victories in those two years.

Gridiron success has grown in the league for several years, but success can also happen overnight. New league member Georgia Southern claimed the Sun Belt football title in its first year in the conference last fall. Appalachian State, another league newbie, rattled off six consecu-tive wins to close the 2014 football season and finish with a winning 7-5 record. Texas State has finished its two football seasons in in the conference as a bowl eligible team, going 6-6 in its inaugural Sun Belt campaign and then 7-5 this past season.

Football, though, is by no means the only hallmark of success for the

league. Just this past season, Georgia State knocked off third-seeded Baylor in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and Little Rock defeated sixth-seeded Texas A&M in the women’s NCAA tournament . With the league’s postseason tournaments headed back to the conference’s home city, the “Big Easy” of New Orleans, and a plethora of standouts returning for this season, the league is poised for another successful hoops season.

Baseball and softball continue to put the league in the national spotlight during the spring season, with deep runs into postseason play and high visibility in the national polls becoming a tradition. UL Lafayette’s baseball team was the nation’s No. 1 team in the final third of the 2014 season and has reached the NCAA Super Regional round each of the past two years, while the UL Lafayette softball team has advanced to the Super Regional three straight years including a trip to the 2014 College World Series.

Many league sports have made statements on the national level, and that is a tribute to the university and athletic administrators that serve both the league institutions and the student-athletes at each school. That this level of success comes at a time of sweeping change in col-legiate athletics adds even more to these accomplishments.

With those changes, opportunities for student-athletes to succeed both on and off the field have never been greater, and the Sun Belt is well positioned in the areas of scholarship, student welfare and academic success. During the 2014-15 academic year alone, Sun Belt member institutions awarded nearly $50 million in scholarship funds to over 3,084 student-athletes while also contributing over $2 million from the Student Assistance Fund (SAF) to over 1,779 student-athletes.

The league and its institutions rewrite the Sun Belt’s record book each year in grade-point averages and academic honors, and mem-ber schools’ success in the NCAA’s APR rankings provide even more proof of the league’s academic commitment. In 2015, the conference doubled the number of teams that received NCAA Public Recognition Awards, given to teams that post APR scores in the top 10 percent of their sport, as 14 teams were among the national honorees compared to seven in 2014.

“We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially, and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athleti-cally,” said former Sun Belt Conference president and Troy University chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. recently. “I truly believe the best is yet to come.”

The strength of any league lies in its membership, with the Sun Belt’s 11-school football membership including Appalachian State, Arkan-sas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. Little Rock and UT Arlington compete in all sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football-only members. Those members give the Sun Belt a mix of the “old” and the “new”, with many long-time Sun Belt institutions continuing to have success and a solid corps of conference newcomers ready to make their marks on the league and national levels.

The varied campuses and locations reflect another league strength – its diversity. The mix of regions and regional cultures provide a rare opportunity for the league’s student-athletes to experience many en-vironments. But those same student-athletes can also experience that without leaving their own campuses.

For every All-Pro linebacker DeMacus Ware (Troy) and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Charles Tillman (UL Lafayette), and for every World Series MVP David Freese (South Alabama) coming from Sun Belt campuses, there are also U.S. presidents (Lyndon Johnson, Texas State), business icons (Chick-fil-a president Daniel Cathy, Georgia Southern), nationally-known entertainers (Tim McGraw, UL Monroe, and Ludac-ris, Georgia State), and there is royalty (Miss America Debbye Turner, Arkansas State).

These proud alumni, as well as the thousands of student-athletes and staff members at all of its institutions, are proof that the Sun Belt Con-ference continues to gain stature and provide the promise of future success with every sunrise. “Together We Rise” has never been more appropriate.

The ULM Strength and Conditioning Department is built around enhancing our athlete’s ability to perform both physically and mentally, on and off the field of play. Physically our objective is to prepare our athletes to compete at a championship level and to prevent injury on and off the field. This is attained by training at a maximal level

and incorporating both sport specific and position specific exercises in the weight room and on the field. Our various “prehab” techniques and close partnership with the Athletic Training Department allows us to keep our athletes safe

and prevent injury before it occurs. Mentally our objective is to prepare our athletes for the rigors and demands of competition on the field and in life. We look to enhance our athletes’ ability to maintain a high level of focus, ma-turity, discipline, responsibility, accountability, loyalty, and competitiveness. The ULM Strength and Conditioning

Program adheres to and supports all aspects of the NCAA and the Sun Belt Conference.

THE RISE OF THE WARHAWkS Moving into the Sun Belt Conference in the 2006-07 season, ULM’s athletic department completed a transformation of sorts. Unique to the program, ULM’s Warhawk moniker is the only one at the highest level of NCAA competition and one of only two Warhawks at any collegiate level in the entire nation.

ULM’s Warhawks provide fans with multiple points of pride to rally behind. The mascot holds local historical connection to the P-40 ‘Warhawk’ airplane flown by northeast Louisiana’s General Claire Chennault and the Flying Tigers of WWII. The Warhawk is also symbolic of the red-shouldered hawk, a local predatory bird commonly found nesting along Bayou DeSiard and soaring above ULM’s athletic facilities year round.

On August 30, 2006, ULM mascot ‘ACE THE WARHAWK’ landed. Wearing bomber jacket, flight helmet and goggles, Ace has provided a perfect representation of the dual meaning of ULM’s mascot. Less than two months later, WARHAWK I, a live red-shouldered hawk permanently housed at the Louisiana Purchase Gardens and Zoo in Monroe, La., was added to the ULM family of mascots. Warhawk II now resides at the zoo.

Since their arrival, ACE and Warhawk II have become vital parts of the ULM community. Including appearances at home athletic events and other activities around campus, the duo rally fans to help the Warhawks achieve victory. The pair also make appearances across the Monroe and West Monroe community, providing educational opportunities for ULM’s

youngest fans.

The Ace’s Kids Club is a special membership group for Warhawk fans age 12 and younger. One-year memberships are available and members receive season tickets to all home Warhawk athletic events, an Ace’s Kids Club t-shirt, membership card and invitations to exclusive events.

WE ARE THE WARHAWKS

The rafters at Fant-Ewing Coliseum are full and the trophy cases across campus are overflowing with the fruits of ULM’s athletic successes. Beginning with a men’s cross country and track and field conference championship in 1958-59, the Warhawks have a storied run at the top of the standings in each sport over the athletic program’s history.

From national championships to basketball Final Fours and collegiate baseball World Series appearances, fans at ULM have become accustomed to watching their teams compete - and win - at the highest level. The Warhawks have advanced to the national semifinals of major tournaments in six different sports and ULM has claimed more than 90 conference championships.

The ULM men’s squads have claimed all-sports titles 14 times, including four in the Gulf States Conference (1963, ‘64, ‘65, ‘69), the Atlantic Sun (1980, ‘81, ‘82), and the Southland Conference (1984, ‘88, ‘90, ‘91, ‘92, ‘93, ‘94). The ULM women have grabbed all-sports titles six times in the Southland Conference (1984, ‘85, ‘87, ‘88, ‘90, ‘94). Dur-ing the 1984 SLC season, ULM became the first program in conference history to win all sports titles on both the men’s and women’s side. The Warhawks would accomplish the feat three more times.

After conquering the Southland Conference, ULM made the move to the Sun Belt Conference and has continued its winning ways. Before the Warhawks had even become full members of their new league, the team had won a football conference championship in 2005. One year later, ULM won a divisional title in men’s basketball and followed that up one season later with a 2008 regular season championship in baseball. Baseball again won a conference title, this time a tournament crown in 2012, and the club reached the postseason (NCAA Baton Rouge Regional).

31Chuck Finley

Chuck Finley is best known for his stellar MLB career with the California Angels, Cleveland Indians and St. Louis Cardinals which spanned 18 seasons.

Finley made All Star appearances in 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996 and 2000. The southpaw pitched for two seasons at ULM and led the War-hawks in strikeouts in 1984 with 50 and came back with 42 as a senior.

He also served as assistant coach for ULM teams that won conference titles in 1968, 1969 and 1970. The 1970 team went on to the finals of the NAIA national championship tournament. Since retiring, St. Amant has worked as the radio color commen-tator for ULM football, basketball and baseball games.

2014-15 ATHLETIC SUCCESSES

Antonia Land became the first-ever ULM soccer player to earned NSCAA All-South Region honors as she was selected to the Third Team. Land helped ULM break the program record last year in points in a season with 126 (37 goals, 52 assists). The Warhawks finished two wins better than the year before and also increased their conference win tally.

keelin Rasch earned Second Team All-Sun Belt honors after leading SBC in both hits and total bases during the regular season. Rasch finished second in the SBC in batting average, fourth in slugging percentage, and fifth in RBI at the conclusion of the regular season. He was the second toughest player to strikeout in the Sun Belt at the end of the regular season. Rasch was tied for the team lead in both runs and homers.

Gerrand Johnson notched First Team All-Sun Belt and First Team All-Louisiana honors after notching 93 total tackles from the middle of the defensive line. With his 93 total tackles, he became the first Warhawk defensive lineman to lead the team in tackles since the 1980 season (Ken Poole, 104 tackles). Johnson also registered 12.5 tackles for loss including six sacks during the 2014 campaign.

Ines Fendt closed her four-year career as a Warhawk with her best season with the program as she notched Second Team All-Sun Belt honors. Fendt played in all 28 rounds leading the team with a 75.71 stroke average en route to seven top-10 finishes, including five top-five finishes. At the SBC Tournament, Fendt finished in second place, the highest individual finish at the conference tournament in women’s golf history.

Marcela Araya became the volleyball program’s all-time digs leader as she concluded her four-year career with 1,916 total digs. She also set a new single-season digs record as she tallied 655 digs during the 2014 season. On the sand courts, Araya teamed with Michelle McNamee and the duo posted a 22-7 regular-season record and made an appearance in the AVCA National Sand Championships.

Faith Bohack took down a Warhawk record that had stood for 12 years. Bohack set career-high numbers in runs, triples and RBI.

MONROE, La. – Clocking in as ULM’s fast-est finisher at the 2015 Sun Belt Conference championships, Colby Carey from the ULM women’s cross country team was named All-Louisiana Freshman of the Year, selected by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA).

Carey was also named to the All-Louisiana First-Team.

“Colby is a truly valuable contributor to our team. She showed a lot of potential in cross country, culminating in her leading us at the Sun Belt Championships,” said ULM cross country coach Josh Hayman. “We certainly cannot wait to see what she can do on the track in her main event, the 800m. She has developed a great attitude to help drive this team and will continue to succeed heading forward.”

The Natchitoches, La., native raced for a 5K time of 21:37.5 at the SBC Championships. It was a huge improvement from her 22:20.87 in the regular season finale at the Crimson Classic.

Carey steadily improved her times over the course of the season. She began the year with a 24:44.80 in the 5K at the Southern Miss In-vitational, and then slashed over three min-utes off her time at the following meet at the Mook Invitational with a 21:40.9.

The freshman ran a personal-record of 21:33.11 in the 5K at the Chile Pepper Festi-val.

Carey was the third Warhawk to win a cross country specialty award from the LSWA in the last three years. Dusan Makevic also won Freshman of the Year in 2013 and Pauline Muiruri was awarded Newcomer of the Year that same season.
