Sweigart Named Field MVP of Indiana D-III Championships

Sweigart captured first place in both the discus throw and the hammer throw. The Alexandria native also secured fourth in the shot put. Sweigart's mark of 54.95 meters (180 feet, 3.5 inches) in the hammer throw ranks 28th in the nation.

Anderson took eighth in the team standings.

COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

It was a great day for a track meet. Unfortunately, we had a lot of athletes sitting out or being cautious with a nagging injury before the conference meet coming soon. A highlight is Michael Sweigart winning Field Athlete of the Meet. He really locked in and competed well. I'm happy with the work most of us were able to do [on Saturday]. We still have plenty more we can improve and we'll keep focused on that.
