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.
