SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—South Dakota senior
Marshall Faurot has been voted the Summit League Most Outstanding Performer of the Championship by the league's head coaches as announced Tuesday. A total of 17 men and 13 women were also recognized by the league as all-Summit performers during the championships.
This marks the second time in Faurot's career of being named the Summit League's Most Outstanding Championship Performer, previously receiving recognition last year during the outdoor season. South Dakota has captured back-to-back most outstanding awards for indoor track and field with
Dylan Kautz receiving the honor last year.
Faurot, a native of Scott City, Kansas, cleared a personal best of 18-1 ¼ (5.52m) to win the men's pole vault competition. He successfully defended his title in the event and captured the Coyotes' eighth-straight crown in the event. In addition to picking up 10 points towards South Dakota's team title, Faurot qualified for the NCAA Indoor Championships with the performance.
The Summit League also recognized all-Summit League performers from the championship meet on Tuesday. To earn all-Summit League accolades, an athlete must place in the top-three of their individual or relay event at the championship meet.
