NMU Wildcat runners saluted

MARQUETTE – A pair of Northern Michigan University runners have been named all-region for the 2014-15 indoor track season by the U.S. Track and Field/Cross Country Coaches Association.

Senior Brittni Wirtz earned the honor for the 60-meter dash, while freshman Wildcat Ine Mylle has earned the nod in the triple jump.

At the GLIAC Championships, Wirtz finished third in the 60 with a school record time of 7.66 seconds.

Mylle, meanwhile, finished fourth in the triple jump at the same meet with a distance of 11.22 meters.

The top five individuals in each event from each region earned all-region distinction, in addition to each of the members of the region’s top three relay teams.

The regions used for this award match those used during the cross country season.
