Weekly Award Honors Bestowed Upon Lynch, Hutton, Curtis

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Three Yellowjackets were represented on the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) athlete of the week list for Jan. 27-Feb. 2, the conference announced Tuesday.
 
Senior Garrett Lynch (Portage, Wis./Portage) and freshman Hannah Hutton (Spooner, Wis./Spooner) swept the league's field honors in track and field, while sophomore Claudia Curtis (Lake Mills, Wis./Lake Mills) garnered the women's tennis north division award.
 
Lynch competed at the Warren Bowlus heptathlon this past weekend. He finished with a score of 4,270 points, which now is the third best mark in program history. Lynch's season bests in pole vault and the 1,000-meter race helped him place 11th overall in a nationally ranked field.
 
Hutton saw action at the Warren Bowlus Invite this weekend, and vaulted to a new personal best on the campus of UW-Stout. In just her fourth collegiate meet, Hutton's mark of 2.89 meters now leads the conference as she placed 13th overall in a nationally rank wave of opponents. 
 
The Yellowjacket women's tennis teams cruised to victory over the weekend against Macalester and Concordia University (Wis.). Curtis was slotted at the No. 3 positions for both singles matches, and she took down the Scots' Megan Twomey 6-0, 6-2 and the Falcons' Ruth Dolde 6-2, 6-4. In doubles action, both at the No. 2 positions, she teamed up with Brooke Wilfong (St. Cloud, Minn./St. Cloud Tech) to defeat Macalester 6-2, then joined forces with Giulia Araujo De Barros (Curitiba, Brazil/Colegio Sabre) for another 6-2 win against Concordia. Curtis boasts a four-match win streak in singles and a three-match streak in doubles play.
 
The Yellowjacket track and field teams return to competition Saturday, as they enter the UWRF Winter Classic. Events are scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Robert P. Knowles Field House.
 
The Yellowjacket women's tennis team travels south to De Pere for a pair of matches this weekend. Saturday will see Superior take on Augustana at 5:30 p.m. inside the Green Bay Tennis Center.
