Luke Reschke (Geneseo, Ill./Geneseo) and Peter Sprecher (Canton, Ill./Canton) were named men’s track and field winners, respectively. The women’s winners were Shannon Turczyn (Peru, Ill./LaSalle-Peru) in track and Megan Clennon (Aurora, Ill./West) in the field events.

Reschke won the 200- and 400- meter races. He ran a conference-best 22.54 in the 200- and turned in the MWC’s top time in the 400- clocking a 48.82. The junior sprinter also ran a leg on the second-place 4x400 relay and was part of the Scots’ 4x100 relay which turned in the conference’s top time of 42.32.

Sprecher, the 2007 NCAA Division III outdoor pole vault national champion, continued his dominance in that event. The senior cleared a conference-best 17’0-3/4 to win the pole vault. The height automatically qualifies Sprecher for next month’s National Championships with the nation’s top mark.

Turczyn had her best meet of the outdoor season, turning in a national provisional qualifying time and two conference-best times. The junior speedster won the 100-meter hurdles and improved her provisional time, breaking the tape in 14.43. She placed seventh in the 200-meters, logging a time of 26.77, and clocked a 12.74 in the 100- prelims. Her 100- hurdle and 100- dash times rank her first in the MWC.

Clennon improved her two conference-best marks while winning the high jump and javelin. The senior cleared a personal-best 5’5-3/4 which also provisionally qualifies her for next month’s NCAA outdoor championships. The mark ranks her second in the nation. Clennon then logged a personal-best in the javelin, winning the event with a throw of 115’9.

This is the first time this year Monmouth has swept the indoor or outdoor MWC Performer of the Week honors.
