Athletes of the Week

The Dana College Sports Information Office and Viking Leadership Council are proud to announce Brooke McCabe (SR, Plainview, NE) and Andrew Hawley (JR, Lincoln, NE) as its athletes of the week.

Brooke McCabe – Women’s Golf

McCabe lead the women’s golf team to the team title at the Bronco Spring Golf Invite last weekend.  The Vikings won the meet by 25 strokes over Hastings College.  McCabe also was the individual champion with a 27-hole total of 121.

“Brooke shot a two-over 38, which she followed up with an 83 on her 18-hole round on Friday,” said Head Golf Coach Warren Kuhl.  “Due to weather only nine holes were played on Thursday the golfer’s had to sit and wait out the weather and then play nine holes without any kind of warm-up or preparation on a very difficult course.  She was the meet medalist and led the Lady Vikings to first place in the Hastings Invitational.”

Andrew Hawley – Men’s Track

Hawley brought home three first place finishes at the Wildcat Invitational last weekend in Wayne, Nebraska.  Hawley won the 100 meter dash with a time of 11.07 seconds with a stiff wind in his face.  He also claimed the 200 meter dash title with a time of 22.96 seconds.  In his final event of the day, Hawley was part of the 4x100 meter relay team.  The relay team won the event with a time of 43.71 seconds.
