MONMOUTH, Ill. —
One automatic qualifying mark and two provisional times earned
Tanesha Hughes (Peoria, Ill./Woodruff) and Logan Hohl
(Orion, Ill./Orion) the latest Midwest Conference Performer of the
Week award in women’s field and men’s track, respectively.
Hughes threw an
automatic-qualifying distance with all five of her discus throws at
last weekend’s Augustana Meet of Champions. The senior’s winning
throw of 164’6” leads the nation by more than 10’. She also made the
provisional mark in the shot put where she finished third at
42’5-1/2”. She placed fourth in the hammer throw at 144’0”.
Hohl improved his provisional 110-meter hurdles
time and ran a top 10 provisional time in the 400- hurdles while
picking up two firsts at last weekend’s Augustana Meet of Champions.
The sophomore ran his season’s first provisional time in the 400-
hurdles and immediately moved into the top 10 in the nation. His
winning time of 53.58 won the event by nearly one-and-a-half seconds
and leads the Midwest Conference by more than five seconds. He
improved his 110- hurdle time with a conference-best 14.80 in the
prelims before winning the finals by .01. Hohl also ran a leg on the
fourth-place 4x400 relay team.
