TRACK & FIELD: Kyle Percival and Andrea Richards Named All-MIAA

May 5, 2008

The 2008 All-MIAA Men's and Women's Track & Field Teams have been announced and the Scots were represented on both the teams. 

For the third consecutive year, senior sprinter Kyle Percival (Lansing/Waverly), who broke the school record and qualified for nationals with a 10.52 sec 100m dash earlier this season, was named to the All-MIAA Men's team after defending his Crown in the 100 meters with a finals time of 10.79 seconds at the MIAA Field Day.

Andrea Richardson (Mayville), who represented the Scots' Womens Team, finished second in the high jump at the Field Day with a height of 1.62 meters and the pole vault with a height of 3.26 meters. Her marks earned her an At-Large spot on the All-MIAA Women's Team.
