DUBUQUE, Iowa - After dominant performances at the opening meet of the 2019-20 indoor track and field season, Alison Beeman and Caroline Ferguson picked up American Rivers Conference Performers of the Week honors for their effort at the Battle of the Bluff.
Alison Beeman (Sr., Lakemoor, Ill./Wauconda) picked up where she left off last season and won the 200m dash in a time of 25.17 seconds. She also made her first career appearance and took home the title in the high jump, beating out five other competitors with a best jump of 1.57m. Beeman just missed out a third title in the day, finishing second in the 55m dash in 7.35 and second as a part of the 4x400 relay. This is the second time Beeman has been honored as Indoor Track Performer of the Week.
Caroline Ferguson (Jr., Rapids City, Ill./Riverdale) took down a field of 14 in the shot put with a winning throw of 13.88m. That winning throw is the top throw in all of NCAA Division III. Ferguson also claimed second place in the weight throw with a toss of 15.73m to rank her in the top 10 of all throwers in Division III. This is the junior's first A-R-C Indoor Field Performer of the Week honor.
The two helped the Spartans to 62 team points and a team title.
