KANSAS CITY, Mo. – LC State Track and Field's
Clayton VanDyke earned the first NAIA Indoor Track Athlete of the Week honor of his career after his performance at the Cougar Classic, announced by the national office on Wednesday.
The native of Vernal, Utah had a standout weekend in Spokane with a pair of automatic-qualifying marks and a provisional time in the DMR. The senior now holds the top NAIA time in the mile and bested the school record by nearly two seconds with a time of 4:07.79. He was .09 off the facility record set in the same heat. He was the only non-Division I competitor in Saturday's 800m and finished second, and also helped the DMR hit a provisional mark in the event. VanDyke set the top time in the 800m in the NAIA earlier this season.
LC State Track and Field is in action on Saturday at Idaho's Lauren McCluskey Memorial Open in Moscow.
