Sinard, Peralta, Kearney Named AAC Track & Field Athletes of the Week

WALESKA, Ga. - On Monday, the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) revealed their Indoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week. Milligan University took home three of the four awards, sweeping the men's awards (Trevor Sinard (Field) and Luis Peralta (Track)) and taking home Female Track Athlete of the Week with Ellen-Mary Kearney.

Sinard came away with his first career AAC Field Athlete of the Week honor in his freshman season, taking top-eight finishes in both the Shot Put and the Weight Throw, tossing the shot 13.99m and the weight 15.56m.

Peralta ran the 600m for the Buffs to the tune of a 1:19.19 clip, which was good enough to win the entire event. It is currently the third-fastest time in the nation for the 600m and set a new meet record, as well as a Milligan record. He also helped out on the men's 4x800m Relay, which won their race with a time of 7:44.39, which outpaced the previous meet, facility and college record at JDL Fast Track. It is the second-fastest time in the NAIA this year.

Kearney ran the 1000m as her lone individual event, in which she clocked a Milligan record mark of 2:48.45, which would also have set the meet record. She placed fourth in the race. She also helped out as a leg in the women's 4x800m Relay, in which the Buffs placed first with a time of 9:36.58, which currently stands as the No. 3 time in the NAIA this season.
