INDIANAPOLIS – It is officially championship week as Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Indoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week honors were presented to Hillsdale and Findlay on Tuesday.
 
The 2021 Great Midwest Indoor Track & Field Championships will be at the Doden Field House at Cedarville starting on Friday and going through Saturday. Due to COVID protocols, the event is closed to the public for in-person viewing and will be streamed in its entirety on the Great Midwest Digital Network in four different sessions.
 
Men’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week
Sean Fagan
Hillsdale
Sprints
Freshman
North Scituate, RI (Bishop Hendricken HS)
 
Only three provisional qualifiers have established themselves this season in the 60-meter hurdles and Fagan recorded the season’s top time at the Hillsdale Tune-Up on Saturday.
 
It’s an event that has been dominated in the conference record books by former Malone football/track standout Ashton Dulin, who is now playing in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts, and former Tiffin NCAA qualifier Errik Snell.
 
As a freshman, Fagan was about as close as possible to cracking the top 10 list with his effort in the 60-meter hurdles as he won the event with a time of 8.14.
 
Fagan joins Tiffin’s Nathaneal Wilson and Walsh’s Lane Knoch as provisional qualifiers from the conference this season.
 
He also clocked an 8.18 in the preliminaries. Fagan has been entered in plenty of different events for the Chargers this year including the 4x400-meter relay, 400m and 200m.
 
Men’s Indoor Field Athlete of the Week
Sterling Mungro
Findlay
Throws
Junior
DeSoto, TX (DeSoto HS/Iowa Central CC)
 
The Oilers have had some must-see talent (i.e. Eldred Henry, Austin Combs) in the throws cage and this weekend, expect fellow student-athletes to crowd around Mungro when it is his time to shine in weight throw or shot put.
 
Mungro shattered the conference weight throw record and auto qualified again, this time at the Grand Valley State Tune-Up.
 
Mungro’s latest effort traveled 21.74m (71’ 4”) and is ranked second in Division II for the current season. He is one of just three auto qualifiers in Division II with Tanner Berg (Northern State) and Brent Fairbanks (Ashland) while five total provisional qualifiers come from the conference alone in the event.
 
Mungro passed the former Oiler great Combs, who was a two-time Division II national champion for his own legacy in 2018 and 2019. Combs’ previous conference record of 21.71m held up until Mungro passed him.
 
Mungro has been conference field athlete of the week three different times this season.
