Ebel Voted Region Assistant Coach Of The Year

Pat Ebel has been named the NCAA Division III Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Ebel’s area of expertise is the throwing events, and he guided the Titans to 10 entries at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championship. Both Tony Baker (Sr. • Oshkosh) and Pete Delzer (So. • Oconto Falls) qualified for the discus, hammer throw and shot put. Nick Baatz (So. • Brownsville) competed in the discus and shot put, while Ben Ludtke (Jr. • Lyons) joined the hammer throw field and Lewis Prior (Jr. • Coleman) took part in the discus.

UW-Oshkosh placed 10th at the national outdoor meet thanks to its throwing efforts. Baker finished third in the discus and seventh in the shot put for a pair of All-America results. Baatz contributed a fourth-place showing with the shot put and a fifth-place standing with the discus. Delzer added an eighth-place finish in the discus.
