College roundup: 3 Slippery Rock athletes pick up PSAC honors
Slippery Rock’s Maceo Austin, Anna Igims and Seaton Wozniak earned PSAC athlete of the week honors Monday.
Austin was named men’s basketball’s Western Division Defensive AOTW after recording six steals in a win over Pitt-Johnstown, tying for the third most in a game by a PSAC player. He had nine over all finished the week averaging 20 points, six rebounds and 4.5 assists as SRU went 1-1.
Igims was named the indoor track and field athlete of the week after the graduate student finished fourth in the GVSU Big Meet 5K with a career-best 16:36.79, an NCAA provisional time. It’s the top time by a PSAC runner this season, and she also holds that spot in the mile and 3K.
Wozniak won the shot put at the SPIRE Collegiate Indoor Games with an SRU-record 17.33 meters. It’s the 16th best throw in NCAA Division II this season.
David Bocci, a Clarion University senior and former Butler swimmer, broke a 16-year-old school record Monday at the PSAC Swimming Championships with a 9:30.43 in the men’s 1,000-meter freestyle, finishing third in the race.
Bocci followed that up Tuesday with a silver in the 100 butterfly, swimming a 48.20 in the final, and another silver in the 400 medley relay, where he was the first leg as the quartet touched the wall in 3:17.45.
The PSAC championships continue Wednesday and Thursday.
Another Butler grad, Ryan Porch, a sophomore for Pitt-Johnstown track and field, won the long jump Saturday at the Susquehanna Indoor Track and Field Invitational.
Porch leaped 7.03 meters.
