Central Islip, N.Y. – Shauna Kay-Creary
of University of the District of Columbia and George Erazo of St.
Thomas Aquinas have been named the first ever ECC Indoor Track and
Field Athletes of the Year, as voted on by the conference's
coaches.
Erazo, a three-time ECC Athlete of the Week, was one of the top
runners in the East Region and all of Division II in the 400 meters
this year. Erazo ranked No. 26 in Division II and second in the
East Region with a 400 meter run time of 48.37 seconds. He also won
the conference championship in the 400 as well as the 4 x 400 meter
and 4 x 200 meter relays. Erazo, who also placed second in the
conference championship meet in the 200 meter dash, had Top-Five
finishes at the Gotham Cup, NYU Team Challenge, Army Cromwell Cup,
and the Molloy College Invitational.
Creary, a two-time ECC Athlete of the Week, was a versatile
performer, finishing in the top of the East Region in numerous
events. She posted the top high jump with a mark of 1.68 meters,
and also finished in the Top-Six in triple jump (11.59 m), long
jump (5.77 m), and 60 meter dash (7.85 seconds). Creary's shining
moment came in the ECC Championship meet, as she helped the
Firebirds be crowned the first ever ECC Women's Indoor Track and
Field Champions. Creary scored 42 points by herself over the course
of five events, winning the high jump and long jump, coming in
second in the triple jump and 200 meter dash, and third in the 60
meter dash. Her efforts earned the Most Outstanding Athlete of the
ECC Women's Championship meet.
The Men's Most Outstanding Athlete of the ECC Championship meet
went to Mike Abelard of St. Thomas Aquinas. Abelard earned the
honor after taking home first place in both the 60 and 200 meter
dashes and was also a part of the winning 4 x 200 meter relay
squad.
Alton McKenzie from University of the District of Columbia, and
Alan Kilfoyle of Molloy College, also earned the ECC Indoor Track
and Field Coach of the Year honors after leading their teams to the
titles at the championship meet.
In addition, the ECC also announces the first ever All-Conference
finishers from the championship meet. The top two finishers in each
event were named First Team All-Conference, while the third and
fourth place finishers earned Second Team All-Conference
distinction. A list of all winners can be found below.
