EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) and sophomore Cameron Hough (Olney, Illinois) have respectively been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Male and Female Track Athletes of the Week in an announcement by the league office Wednesday afternoon following their performances at the Mt. SAC Relays last week.
Â
Nolan recorded an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying time and personal-best mark of 29 minutes, 26.46 seconds. His performance puts him sixth all-time on USI’s all-time 10,000-meter list and, ironically, knocks his father, USI and GLVC Hall of Famer Jim Nolan, off the same list.
Â
Wednesday’s honor marks the first time Nolan has earned GLVC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week honors, while Hough also is earning GLVC Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week honors for the first time. Junior Titus Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) and sophomore Lauren Greiwe (West Harrison, Illinois) also earned GLVC Track Athlete of the Week honors two weeks ago.
Â
Hough also notched an NCAA II provisional qualifying time and personal-best mark in the women’s 10,000 meters last week when she crossed the finish line in 34:20.41. Her performance ranks her third on USI’s all-time 10,000-meter list. She also ranks first in the GLVC and eighth in the nation in the 10,000 meters.
Â
The Screaming Eagles return to action Friday and Saturday when they compete at the Gibson Invitational in Terre Haute, Indiana.
