Hannam claims national title
May 29, 2010
The track team produced its seventh outdoor national
champion and eighth overall Saturday at the 2010 NCAA Division III
Outdoor Championships in Berea, Ohio.
It took a school record, but junior Tyler Hannam
(Woodhull, Ill./AlWood) was up to the task and claimed the national
championship in the high jump. His winning height of 6’11-1/2” made
him the Fighting Scot’s second national champion in that event,
following Monmouth’s first national champion, Eric Ealy in
1986. It’s Hannam’s second All-American award after tying for sixth
at the indoor championships in March.

MIDWEST REGION TRACK ATHLETE OF THE YEAR |
Reschke named Midwest Region's best
May 24, 2010
Eight-time All-American Luke Reschke (Geneseo,
Ill./Geneseo) of Monmouth College has been named the NCAA’s Midwest
Region’s best track athlete for 2010.
Reschke, a senior physical education major, was named the top
Division III men’s track athlete in a vote of the more than 40
Midwest Region coaches. The Region includes three independent
schools and six conferences: the Midwest Conference, College
Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin, University Athletic
Association, Northern Athletics Conference, St. Louis
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the Wisconsin
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
“This is a well-deserved recognition for Luke,” said coach
Roger Haynes. “For the region’s coaches to select him as the
region’s best runner is an outstanding achievement and a testament
to his hard work. He has typified the type of success a
student-athlete can achieve through dedication and hard work.”
The announcement letter from Sam Seemes of the
U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA)
explains the annual award is a reflection of perseverance and
dedication to track and field during the 2010 outdoor season.
Reschke broke numerous school records and enters this week’s NCAA
Outdoor Championships in Berea, Ohio, with the nation’s top time in
the 400-meter dash.
Reschke is one of eight finalists for the
Division III National Track Athlete of the Year. The final award will be
announced next week.

Reschke,
Hannam sweep weekly awards
April 21, 2010
Competing as last Saturday’s Augustana Meet of Champions, Luke
Reschke (Geneseo, Ill./Geneseo) and Tyler Hannam
(Woodhull, Ill./AlWood) turned in outstanding performances. The pair
broke one school record and tied another to sweep the MWC Performers
of the Week award for men.
Reschke broke his own school record at the Meet
of Champions to be named the men’s track POW. The senior speedster
clocked a school record and provisional qualifying time of 47.52 to
win the 400-meter dash by nearly a full second. His nation’s best
time was just two-hundredths shy of the automatic qualifying time.
He was also third in the 200 with a time of 21.99 which ranks him
third in the Midwest Conference. Reschke also ran a leg on the
fourth-place 4x100 relay which clocked a conference-best 42.46 and
the seventh-place 4x400 relay.
Hannam – the men’s field event POW – turned in
the nation’s top mark in the high jump at the Meet of Champions. The
junior equaled the Fighting Scots’ school record in the high jump
and came within a quarter inch of the NCAA’s automatic qualifying
standard. Hannam cleared 6’10-3/4” to win the event by a full two
inches. |
