Emory University senior Alex Greenhouse,
sophomore Lauren Attiah, head coach John
Curtin and assistant coach Kevin Semanick
were honored by the United States Track & Field and Cross
Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) based on their performances
during the 2010 Indoor season.
Greenhouse was named the region’s men’s track athlete
of the year. Earlier in the season, he broke the Emory
school record in the 200 meters with a time of 22.01, which also
put him among the top ten competitors in Division III in 2010.
Greenhouse also won the University Athletic Association (UAA)
indoor title in the 400-meter dash, with a personal best time of
48.63 seconds.
Attiah, meanwhile, was named the South/Southeast region’s
women’s field athlete of the year. At the UAA
Championships, she won the long jump and finished second in the
triple jump to lead the Eagles to a second-place team finish. Her
season-best and school record mark in the triple jump of 11.65
meters ranks her eleventh among declared competitors in the event
at this weekend’s NCAA Division III Indoor Championships.
For the Emory coaching staff, Curtin and Semanick were named the
women’s head and assistant coach of the year,
respectively. The Emory women finished second at the UAA
Championships with five individual and relay conference titles and
12 All-UAA honors. The pair helped to coach national qualifiers for
the high jump, triple jump and 55-meter hurdles.
The USTFCCCA honorees are selected by track and field coaches from
across the nation. The awards will be presented at a banquet
Thursday evening at Greencastle, IN, site of the NCAA Division III
Indoor Track & Field Championships this weekend.
Attiah, along with senior Brittany Donino and
freshman Theresa Ford, will compete at the
national championship meet starting on Friday, the final indoor
meet of the season for the Eagles.
