CORVALLIS, Ore. – Four LC State Warriors garnered Cascade Conference WVT Laboratory Athlete of the Week honors, with two earning the first awards of their careers and two adding to their tallies for the season. Luke White was voted the Baseball Player of the Week, Jorgen Lie Viken was named the Men’s Golfer of the Week, and Clayton VanDyke and Madigan Kelly were each tabbed the Track Athletes of the Week.

LUKE WHITE– BASEBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK

White had a record-setting weekend at the plate to help the No. 3 Warriors to a sweep of UBC to begin Cascade Conference play. The senior from Lewiston became the first Warrior since current head coach Jake Taylor in 1993 to hit two home runs in the same inning, and then became the first LC State player to homer in four straight at-bats. White hammered four home runs and two doubles for a 1.533 slugging percentage, tallied nine hits in 15 at-bats (.600) and knocked in 14 runs.

This is the first weekly honor of White’s career. He is the fifth different LC position player to earn the award this season.

The Warriors are at Corban this weekend for a four-game Cascade Conference series.

JORGEN LIE VIKEN – MEN'S GOLFER OF THE WEEK

Viken matched par in a stroke-play match against NCAA Division III No. 19 Whitworth to tie for third. The junior helped lead the Warriors to a victory over the Pirates at the Lewiston Golf and Country Club on Thursday.

This is the first weekly honor of Viken’s career.

CLAYTON VANDYKE – MEN'S TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

VanDyke continued to dominate in the 800m and broke his own record in the event with a time of 1:51.13. The senior won the event and holds the second-fastest time in the NAIA this season. 

This is the 10th conference weekly honor for VanDyke in his career, and fourth this season.

MADIGAN KELLY – WOMEN'S TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Kelly did not let the ink dry on her 100m hurdle record and bested the mark at the Bucs Scoring and Multi on Friday. The freshman ran an automatic-qualifying time of 14.41 to win the event and punch her ticket to nationals. She went on to finish second in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:06.16.

This is the fourth weekly honor for Kelly this season.

LC State Track and Field will compete at the NNU Invite and Multi this weekend in Nampa.
