Milwaukee's Harper, James and Schmidt, Youngstown State's Grambling Earn #HLTF Weekly HonorsPublished by
INDIANAPOLIS – Milwaukee junior Reed Schmidt (Racine, Wis.) and Youngstown State junior Nina Grambling (Canton, Ohio) have been named Horizon League Men’s and Women’s Runners of the Week while Milwaukee senior Trevor James (Maplewood, Ill.) and Panther freshman Alisha Harper (Brookfield, Wis.) have been named Horizon League Men’s and Women’s Athletes of the Week for the period of Jan. 27-Feb. 2. Schmidt secured runner of the week honors after topping the 20-man 800-meter field with a winning time of 1:55.81. It was his second 800-meter win of the season and his adjusted time of 1:54.18 is the fastest in the Horizon League this season. Grambling won her second runner of the week award this season after becoming the first YSU woman to run under 7.50 seconds in school history. She finished fourth out of 38 competitors at the Penn State National Invitational. The time is the fastest in the Horizon League this season and beat the previous YSU record of 7.52 seconds which had stood since the 2005 season.
James set the school record in high jump with a leap of 2.15m (7-0 ½) on his first attempt at the height to win field athlete of the week honors. He broke the previous mark of 2.14m set back in 2010 and his jump currently stands tied for 15th in the nation and is the best in the Horizon League. Milwaukee is back in action on Friday at the Meyo Invite in South Bend., Ind., while Youngstown State will also resume on Friday as they host the YSU National Invitational.
