MONMOUTH, Ill. – For the second time in three weeks a trio of Monmouth College athletes have been named Midwest Conference Performer of the Week in indoor track and field.

The trio - Tyler Rundle (Monmouth, Ill./Warren), Dane Justice (Marseilles, Ill./Seneca) and Tiffanie York (Delavan, Ill./HS) - earned the honor after competing last weekend at the 15-team Fighting Scots Invitational at Monmouth.

Rundle ran the sixth-fastest 200-meter dash in the history of Monmouth’s illustrious indoor track program, winning the event in 22.29, one of his three first-place performances. He also ran a 49.3-second 400-meter leg on the first place distance medley relay team which set a school record of 10:12.52 and qualified provisionally for next month’s national meet with the ninth-fastest time in the country. The sophomore sprinter was also part of the 4x200 squad, which won in a school-record time of 1:29.40. He contributed a 22.2-second leg.

While Rundle ran his way to the POW honor, Justice vaulted his way to the award, literally. The sophomore cleared 14’5 in the pole vault to place second at the meet. His lifetime best mark is currently ranked third in the MWC.

On the women’s side, York finished second in the 3000-meter run last Saturday with a time of 10:59.11. She also took third in the 800 meters. The freshman also ran a leg on the Scots’ 4x400 relay team, which ran an MWC best time of 4:11.73.

Physical education majors, Rundle is the son of Bruce and Sherry Rundle of Monmouth and Justice is the son of Mel and Deborah Reding and David Justice, all of Seneca.

York, a math major, is the daughter of Anthony and Tracie York of Delavan.
