Angelo State took top billing on the All-Lone Star Conference awards with 15 honorees out of the 58 athletes recognized for their efforts at the 2013 LSC Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The awards were announced Thursday by league officials.
ASU won both the men’s and women’s titles for the first time in school history. It was the fifth-straight title for the Rambelles with seven all-conference athletes and the first for the Rams since 1992 behind the endeavors of eight 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 31 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, Incarnate Word’s Tommy Brown earned the Cap Shelton Award as Outstanding Male Track Athlete, while the Rams Seth Pearson picked up the Oscar Strahan Award as Outstanding Male Field Athlete. ASU’s James Reid was named Men’s Track Coach of the Year.
For the women, the Harding’s Portia Bell claimed the Wes Kittley Award as Outstanding Female Track Athlete, while the Rambelles Kimberly Williams earned the David Noble Award as Outstanding Female Field Athlete. ASU’s Reid was tabbed Women’s Track Coach of the Year for the seventh 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 2013 outdoor season with the NCAA Division II Men’s and Women’s Track & Field Championships, set for May 23-25 in Pueblo, Colo.
