Already the G-MAC Freshman of the Year indoors,
Anna Roessner got her outdoor season started with a bang in Colorado this past weekend, and the Great Midwest Athletic Conference is taking notice.
The G-MAC named Roessner the G-MAC Women's Track Athlete of the Week on Monday afternoon for her performance in the Chuck Haering Classic in Pueblo, Colorado. It's the third time Roessner has won a weekly conference honor already in her first outdoor season.
The freshman won all three events she entered in Pueblo, taking first in the 100m dash, 200m dash and as the anchor leg on the 4x100m relay for the Chargers, and in all three events she ran NCAA DII provisional qualifying times that rank her or her team in the top 10 in NCAA DII at this point in the outdoor season.Â
Roessner's biggest finish was in the 4x100m relay, as she got the Chargers across the finish line in 46.01, breaking the school record in the event by six-tenths of a second with her teammates
Francesca Federici,
Lucy Minning and
Anna Lamoreaux. She also won the 100m dash in 11.60 and the 200m dash in 23.83, each the second fastest time in those outdoor events in Hillsdale program history behind past national champion Kajsa Johansson.Â
Roessner is in strong position to qualify for the NCAA DII Outdoor Championships in May after competing in the Indoor Championships earlier this month. She'll look to continue improving her times and chase the school record in the 100 and 200 in April, starting with meets at Stanford University and Michigan State University this weekend.
