SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Three members of the Superior track and field teams were voted to the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference's Athlete of the Week list, the league announced Tuesday morning.
 
The duo of freshman Bel Dimaze (Monticello, Minn./Spectrum) and sophomore Simone Stephens (Scottsdale, Ariz./Saguaro) swept the league's awards for the second time this season, while senior Earl Foster (Forest Lake, Minn./Spectrum) represented the Yellowjackets as the men's track athlete of the week.
 
Dimaze logged her first collegiate win in just her second collegiate meet over the weekend. Competing at the Twin Ports Open Saturday, she won the high jump with a leap of 1.51 meters. This not only sets a conference-leading jump, but it sets a new personal-best mark for Dimaze.
 
Stephens ran the mile this weekend at the Twin Ports Open. She logged a time of 5:21.5, claiming third place while setting a new conference-leading mark inside the home confines of the Lydia C. Thering Fieldhouse. 
 
Foster placed second overall in the 60-meter hurdles Saturday at the Twin Ports Open. He ran an 8.66 second race, still leading the UMAC rankings. Furthermore, Foster won the 200-meter hurdles in 25.39 seconds, establishing a new UW-Superior record.
 
Both Yellowjacket track and field programs are in action Saturday, competing at the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John's Invitational. Action is set to start at 11 a.m. in Collegeville, Minn.
