Two student-athletes from the Simpson College men’s track and field team earned All-American honors, with Spencer Moon garnering First Team All-American honors and Max Cleveland collecting a Second Team All-American distinction.
Moon finished sixth in the men’s 5,000 meters in a time of 14:05.43, earning his first career track and field All-American award.

Cleveland clocked a time of 8.22 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles, competing in the first of three heats. Cleveland came up just shy of moving on to the final, but still finished well enough to earn his second career All-American honor.

Emaline Hicks won three matches on day one of the NCWWC National Championships, concluding her freshman year one victory shy of All-American distinction.

Hicks became the first wrestler in program history to win a match at nationals with a 10-0 technical fall over Gabriella Motz (Albion) in the opening round of the tournament. She fell to No. 2 Sterling Dias of Iowa in the next round, but bounced back with her eighth pin of the season against Morgan Bethea of Wisconsin Stevens Point.

The Ypsilanti, Mich. native continued to advance her way through the back side of the bracket with another pin in the next round, defeating Alma’s Mackenzie Burger in just 26 seconds. In the consolation quarterfinals, Hicks fell 8-2 in a hard fought battle against No. 4 Jennesis Martinez (Colorado Mesa).
Hicks’ first collegiate season ends with a 20-11 record.
