DeYoung, Sherer Named Conference Athletes of the Week after Performance at Little State

Juniors Peter DeYoung (Evansville, IN/Bosse) and Mark Sherer (Valparaiso, IN/Valparaiso) were named the North Coast Athletic Conference Men's Track and Field Athletes of the Week for the period ending April 14.

DeYoung finished in the top six places in the high jump and triple jump at the 97th Annual Little State Track and Field Meet to garner the Field Athlete of the Week award. Bouncing back from an ankle injury that forced him to miss most of the indoor track and field season, DeYoung finished third in the high jump (6 feet, 6 inches) and was sixth in the triple jump (42 feet, 3-1/4 inches).

Sherer was named Runner of the Week after grabbing two top-ten finishes at Little State. He captured fourth place in the 1500-meter run with a time of 3:59.71 and was ninth in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 15:39.95.
