Jacobs and Percival Earn All-MIAA Recognition
ALMA, Mich. - Greg Jacobs and Kyle Percival
have earned recognition for their performances at the MIAA
Championships May 5-6, as the conference announced both
student-athletes earned All-MIAA accolades for their respective track
and field finishes.
Senior Greg Jacobs (Traverse City) successfully defended his
MIAA Championship in the javelin with a throw of 184-9. The conference
champion in each respective event automatically earns All-MIAA status.
Just shy of the NCAA provisional qualifying distance, Jacobs will look
to hit the NCAA mark in the coming weeks.
Freshman Kyle Percival (Lansing/Waverly) earned All-MIAA
recognition in his first semester at Alma after transferring from Grand
Valley State University at the semester. With 15 unique men’s MIAA
Champions in the respective events, Percival was one of just five
additional All-MIAA selections. The freshman ran the 100 meter dash in
11.04 in the prelims and ran the event in 11.10 in the finals. The meet
champion - Hope’s Erik George - crossed the line in 11.04. In addition
to his speed in the 100 meter, Percival finished third in the 200 meter
with a time of 22.82 after qualifying with a time of 22.84.
