Glisar And Larsen Receive National Track & Field Honors

Megan Glisar	Monte Larsen

Megan Glisar, a sophomore from Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, has been named the NAIA National Women’s Indoor Field Athlete of the Week and Monte Larsen, a senior from Neola, Iowa, is the NAIA National Men’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week.

They were also named the Hauff Mid-America Sports/Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) Women’s Indoor Field Athlete and Men’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week.

Glisar, a transfer from NCAA Division I University of Iowa and a four-time state champion in the high jump during her prep career at Sergeant Bluff-Luton High School, shattered the Morningside school record in the indoor high jump in her Mustang debut at last Saturday’s Dordt College Invitational in Sioux Center, Iowa. She cleared 5-9 1/4 to topple the previous Morningside standard of 5-5, which had been achieved five times, including three times by Anne Torkelson. Glisar’s height is the top performance in the nation so far this season.

Aside from her win in the high jump, Glisar also helped lead Morningside to a second place finish in the 1600-meter relay and placed fifth in the 200-meters with a time of 27.29 seconds.

Larsen won the 600-meters and the 1000-meters and anchored the Mustangs to a victory in the 1600-meter relay at the Dordt Invitational. His time of 1:20.53 in the 600-meters is the fastest in the nation so far this season, while his time of 2:28.71 in the 1000-meters is the second fastest in the nation and broke the former Morningside school record of 2:29.31 by Josh Dickinson in 1995.
