McDougal wins a big award

Josh McDougal won the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Southeast Region Men’s Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Year award for the first time in his career, despite running in only four races this season. He won them all, including the Big South Conference 1,500 and 3,000 events, and is currently training for this weekend’s NCAA Division I indoor track and field championships in Fayetteville, Ark., where he will compete in the 3,000 and 5,000.

His fastest time in the 5,000, 13 minutes, 45.16 seconds, run at LU’s Tolsma Indoor Track Center 12 days after winning the NCAA cross country championship, still holds up as the fastest of the season by an NCAA performer and ranks second in the world. His fastest 3,000 time this season of 7:54.85, run Feb. 29, set a Big South championship meet record and ranks sixth on the national performance list.
