The Concord University track and field team continued to rack up
conference awards when Shawnee Carnett and Jeff Fertig were both named
West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Athlete's of the Week
Thursday, as announced by the league office.
Carnett was selected as the women's Track Athlete of the Week for the
fifth consecutive week while Fertig was named the men's Field Athlete of
the Week for the second time this season.
Carnett ensured herself of a spot at the NCAA Division II Indoor
National Championships by running the 800-meters in an automatic
qualifying time of 2:08.51 to lead the Concord University women's track
and field team at the Virginia Tech Challenge.
In addition to being a school record, Carnett's time is currently the
second fastest 800-meter mark in all of the Division II. Carnett, who
was over two seconds faster than her nearest competition Saturday,
trails only Helen Crofts' (Simon Fraser) time of 2:07.34 in the national
rankings.
Fertig met the NCAA provisional qualifying standard in the high jump at
the Virginia Tech Challenge. Fertig cleared 2.06 meters to finish third
in the high jump. The mark, which was 0.04 meters above the NCAA
provisional standard, ties Fertig for 15th in the nation and was just
0.01 meters off of his current Concord record jump of 2.07 meters.
Fertig's 2.06 meter ranks first in the WVIAC this year by 0.17 meters.
The Concord men were ranked third and the CU women were slotted fourth
in the latest WVIAC Power Rankings. The women's team received one
first-place vote. Wheeling was ranked first in both polls.
With just one more weekend to qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships,
Concord will send athletes to the Denison Last Chance Meet on Friday
and George Mason Last Chance Meet on Sunday.
