INDIANAPOLIS – Malone and Findlay earned accolades for the third week of the season as Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week were revealed on Tuesday.
 
Track Athlete of the Week
Ashton Dulin
Malone
Junior
Sprints/Hurdles
Reynoldsburg, OH (Reynoldsburg HS)
 
Dulin continues to be a familiar face during the outdoor season following his conference record-breaking outing at the Otterbein April Fools Invitational.
 
Dulin placed first in both the 110 and the 400-meter hurdles. He won the preliminary round in the 110, but clocked a provisional time of 14.39 to set a new conference outdoor record.
 
Dulin broke his own mark of 14.46 last year at the Jesse Owens Classic that was the previous record. He also ran a 54.35 in the 400-meter hurdles, barely on the outside of the top-10 all-time best attempts in Great Midwest history.
 
Dulin owns all eight of the top 10 marks in the 400-meter hurdles with each time ran during the 2017 outdoor season.
 
Dulin was an NCAA DII All-American during the indoor season in the 60-meter hurdles, placing sixth in the finals.

Etsey smashed the conference outdoor triple jump record with a distance of 14.59m (47’10.5”). He placed first in the triple jump and was second in the long jump at Cedarville.
 
He broke the previous record from Malone’s Ja’Vonne Brashears, a wind-aided distance of 13.89m at last year’s conference championship.
