CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The UNI men's track and field team swept the weekly Missouri Valley Conference honors.
Isaiah Trousil and Thomas Yezek earned MVC Male Track and MVC Male Field Athlete of the Week honors with their performances at the KT Woodman Classic at Wichita State last weekend.
Trousil already held the best time in the conference in the 100-meter dash, but he posted a career best time to hold on to the spot. He also opened his 200-meter dash outdoor season with the best time in the MVC.
In his first outdoor competition of the season, Yezek also posted the top mark in the league in his event, the discus. UNI now holds the top two spots on the MVC performance list for discus with Yezek's throw and the throw of the previous leader, Darius King.
