VIEW the All-America javelin duo of

Franz Burghagen and national champion Cody Parker . On the conference circuit, the Seawolf women captured their first-ever league championship as they became only the second GNAC school ever to sweep the cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field titles. Sprinter Grace Morgan, An-ders and Keino both earned two league titles, while Cody Thomas captured UAA’s first decathlon crown on the men’s side . Parker was named the GNAC’s Outdoor Track & Field Male Ath-lete of the Year, while Burghagen was Male Newcomer of the Year, Anders was Female Freshman of the Year and 23rd-year head coach Michael Friess was the Women’s Team Coach of the Year . Academically, senior Alfred Kangogo and Keino were recog-nized among the West Region’s top scholar-athletes as they earned spots on the men’s and women’s Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-District Track & Field/Cross Country teams . Additionally, the UAA run-ning programs – cross country and track & field combined – fin-ished as the second-best in Div . II . Combined, the women’s teams finished third in the USTFCCCA list, while the men’s team was fourth. The only team to finish better was Adams State with a first place on the men’s side and second place on the women’s side .

INDOOR RECAP

The Alaska Anchorage men’s and women’s track & field

teams concluded their first season of indoor competition in stellar fashion . The Seawolves qualified 12 student-athletes to the NCAA Championships, where they amassed 10 All-America honors and an NCAA Champion in ju-nior Micah Chelimo . Combined, 15 Seawolves re-ceived All-West Region honors, while Chelimo and head coach Michael Friess were recognized as the West Region’s Male and Coach of the Year, respectively . The UAA women’s team came away with the team title at the GNAC Championships – break-ing Seattle Pacific’s three-year run – while the men’s squad took second . Overall, 15 Seawolves were All-Conference recipients, while the teams registered eight indi-vidual and relay titles . Chelimo and Friess were ac-knowledged on the GNAC front as well as Karolin Anders, who took home GNAC Female Fresh-man of the Year honors .

OUTDOOR RECAP

Having firmly established themselves among the na-

tion’s elite track & field programs, the Seawolves did not disappoint again in 2013 . Led by All-Americans Susan Tanui, Ruth Keino and Karolin Anders, the women’s team fin-ished a program-best seventh at the NCAA Championships, while the men’s team finished 16th with

Micah Chelimo captured his third NCAA title overall with a win in the 5,000 meters at the

Indoor Championships in February.

EST ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

With members in five states and the province of British Columbia, and with a strong presence in or near the largest

city of each, the Great Northwest Athletic Conference has estab-lished itself as one of the top NCAA Division II athletic confer-ences in the nation during its 11-year history . Founded in 2001, GNAC teams have had a remarkable 71 NCAA Division II top 10 national team finishes in 14 of the 16 sports it sponsors . The 2012-13 academic year was another banner season for the league, highlighted by top-4 NCAA finishes for UAA’s men’s cross country team (3rd), Simon Fraser’s men’s soccer team, and Western Washington’s basketball squads . Along with later additions Montana State Billings (2007) and Simon Fraser (2010), the GNAC is comprised of charter mem-

bers Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks, Central Washington, Northwest Nazarene, Saint Martin’s, Seattle Pacific, Western Oregon and Western Washington . In the last six years, the GNAC has produced two national team titles (2009 SPU women’s soccer, 2012 WWU men’s bas-ketball), three national runner-up finishes, six NCAA Final 4 bas-ketball appearances (including three by UAA), and top-5 NCAA cross country placings by both SPU and UAA (both men and women’s squads) . UAA sponsors nine of the GNAC’s 14 sports – volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross coun-try, men’s and women’s indoor track & field, and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field .
