Strupp Named WIAC's Top Field Performer

Victories in a pair of throwing events earned UW-Oshkosh's Breanna Strupp (Jr. • Slinger) the Field Performer of the Meet Award at the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championship held May 4-5 in Whitewater. The award was determined by a vote of the league's nine head coaches.

Strupp won competitions in the discus and shot put while finishing fifth in the hammer throw. She successfully defended her conference title in the discus with a distance of 160-0. Strupp marked measurements of 45-11 3/4 in the shot put and 167-1 in the hammer throw.

The WIAC also named UW-La Crosse's Claire Elliott as its Track Performer of the Meet and Pat Healy as its Coach of the Year. Healy received the outdoor coaching award for the seventh time in his career.

UW-La Crosse scored 185 points to capture the WIAC outdoor title for the fifth time in six years. With the help of seven first-place finishes, UW-Oshkosh ranked second in the nine-team meet with 176 points.
