MAC Track Athlete of the Week
Esther Seeland (Messiah / Jr. / State College, Pa.) earns her fourth conference weekly award of the season. Seeland competed at the Virginia Grand Prix at the University of Virginia in the 800-meter run. Against a field littered with Division I talent, Seeland was fantastic. She turned in a time of 2:03.25, shattering her program and MAC record by a fraction shy of two seconds (2:05.24) and becoming the second-fastest woman in Division III history to ever run the event. Seeland's time is the fastest in Division III this season by more than eight seconds. She also is the 13th fastest woman in any division of the NCAA this season.
