Abilene Christian and Angelo State headlined the All-Lone Star Conference awards with 14 honorees each of the 54 athletes on the list for their efforts at the 2012 LSC Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Championships. The awards were announced Thursday by league officials.
ACU won the men’s championship for the 19th straight year at the 2012 LSC meet with seven all-conference athletes. ASU earned its fourth consecutive women’s title behind the efforts of six all-LSC performers.
The list of all-conference performers includes the winner of each event at the conference meet, including all members of the winning relay teams, plus any athlete who scores at least 14 points at the meet. In all, 27 men and 25 women were recognized by the all-conference program.
In addition to the announcement of All-LSC performers, the league recognized four student-athletes and two coaches with individual awards.
On the men’s side, ACU’s Jordan Geary earned the Cap Shelton Award as Outstanding Male Track Athlete, while the Wildcats Nick Jones picked up the Oscar Strahan Award as Outstanding Male Field Athlete. ACU’s Roosevelt Lofton was named Men’s Track Coach of the Year.
For the women, the Wildcats Chloe Susset claimed the Wes Kittley Award as Outstanding Female Track Athlete, while West Texas A&M’s Morgan Shelton earned the David Noble Award as Outstanding Female Field Athlete. ASU’s James Reid was tabbed Women’s Track Coach of the Year for the sixth straight year.
The special awards were voted upon by the league coaches.
Several of the LSC track and field athletes are now preparing for the conclusion of the 2012 outdoor season with the NCAA Division II Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Championships, set for May 24-26 in Pueblo, Colo.
