Emory University senior Theresa Ford and junior Mike Moserowitz were named the University Athletic Association's (UAA) Indoor Field Most Valuable Performers, and the Emory women's coaches earned the conference's Women's Coaching Staff of the Year honor, following their performances at the 2013 UAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in Cleveland, Ohio last weekend.

In addition, based on her efforts at the UAA Championships, Ford was selected as an honorable mention for the USTFCCCA's Division III National Athlete of the Week.

Ford won a pair of events and earned an additional all-conference honor, helping the Eagles to the 2013 UAA Championship.  Ford set new UAA and school records in the long jump, winning the event with a distance of 5.76 meters, the fifth-best mark in Division III this season.  She also won the high jump for the second-straight season, clearing the bar at a height of 1.66 meters.  Ford rounded out the meet by earning all-UAA honors in the 55-meter hurdles with a third-place finish, after running a season-best time of 8.59 in preliminaries.  Ford accounted for a team-high 26 points during the meet.

It marked the eighth time that an Emory athlete has been named the UAA Indoor Women's Most Valuable Performer, and the second-straight season that Ford has garnered the honor.  She joins former Eagle Kahlilah Jennings (1996 and 1997) as the only repeat winners in the history of the women's indoor program.

Moserowitz claimed a pair of conference titles during the UAA meet.  He won the long jump on the first day with a leap of 6.54 meters.  He followed that performance with a triple jump of 13.69 meters on the second day to claim a victory in that event as well.  Moserowitz also ran the anchor leg on the Eagles' all-UAA 4x400-meter relay team, helping the squad finish third with a time of 3:27.14, and ran the 400-meter leg on Emory's fifth place distance medley relay team (10:30.27).  He scored 20 of the Eagles' 69 points during the meet, helping Emory finish fourth at the UAA Championships.

Moserowitz is the second Emory men's athlete to win the honor specifically for his performance in field events, joining former Eagle Ian Francis, who claimed the honor last season.  He is the 14^th UAA Indoor Most Valuable Performer overall in the history of the men's program.

The Emory women's coaching staff, comprised of head coach John Curtin and assistants Carl Leivers, Aaron Campbell, Mark Johnson and Pedro Vasquez, led the Eagles to the program's third UAA Indoor Championship, edging Washington University (Mo.) by a point in the final standings.  This was the 19^th time Curtin and his staff have earned Conference Coaching Staff of the Year recognition, and the second time (along with 2011) they have earned the honor for the indoor season.

The Eagles will return to action this weekend, taking part in the Tufts Last Chance Meet in Medford, Massachusetts on Saturday, March 2^nd.
