CLEVELAND, Ohio - Following a fourth-place finish at the 2008 MAC Track and Field Championships, three Miami RedHawks have earned All-MAC first-team honors, as announced by the conference office in Cleveland, Ohio.
Seniors Kevin Dwyer and Michael Veatch are joined by junior Pat Sovacool on the all-conference list.
Dwyer, a product of Arlington Heights, Ill., won the decathlon with a score of 6706 points. He also scored a second-place finish in the javelin with a throw of 207-11. He will compete this weekend at the NCAA Mideast Regionals in the javelin, while he is still in contention to compete in the nationals in the decathlon with a season-high point total of 7066, set at the Clemson Relays.
Veatch, from Middletown, Ohio, won the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the conference championships with a time of 9:06.49. His season-best time of 8:51.67 qualified him for this weekend's regional competition and placed him seventh at the 114th Penn Relays in April.
