SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—South Dakota second-year freshman
Sara Reifenrath has been voted the Summit League Most Outstanding Performer of the Championship by the league's head coaches announced Tuesday. A total of 18 women and 11 men were also recognized by the league as all-Summit performers from the weekend's championships.
Reifenrath swept the 200 meters, 400 meters and 4x400-meter relay events for the second consecutive indoor championship meet. She broke both the Summit League meet and South Dakota school record in the 200 meters with a clocking of 23.52 seconds. That time ranked 45th in the nation for the season. She also anchored the Coyotes' 4x400-meter relay to a new meet and school record of 3:42.90. Third-year sophomore
Madison Jochum and a pair of true freshmen in
Moe Bridgen and
Anna Robinson joined her on the relay.
A native of Hartington, Nebraska, Reifenrath joins Shanice Cannigan (2018) as Coyote recipients of the Most Outstanding Performer award indoors. She earned the same recognition at the outdoor meet last spring in Vermillion.
Reifenrath accounted for 22.5 of South Dakota's 200.5 points at the league meet as the Coyotes clinched the program's first-ever Summit League indoor title.
The Summit League also recognized all-Summit League performers from the championship meet on Tuesday. To earn all-Summit League honors, an athlete must place in the top-three of their individual or relay event at the championship meet.
