  2007 Indoor Wrap-up
  
  It’s uncommon for weather to impact the outcome for indoor sports, but a snowstorm in early March closed roads and cut the indoor track and field season one meet short for Nebraska Wesleyan athletes, who were hoping to improve their marks and qualify for the 2007 NCAA Division III Championships.
  
  Still, the Prairie Wolves ended up with eight participants at the national meet March 9-10 in Terre Haute, Ind., and six of those went on to earn All-America honors. Jenna Davies and Jed Droge placed eighth in the women’s high jump and men’s long jump, respectively. In addition, the men’s 4x400-meter relay of Jason Peters, Chris Wolf, Gordie Coffin (running in place of Evan Knight) and Ben Thayer, placed fourth.
  
  For his accomplishments leading up to the national meet, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association selected Peters as Central Region Indoor Men’s Track Athlete of the Year.
  
  At the GPAC Indoor Track & Field Championships, held Feb. 24 at Lincoln’s Bob Devaney Sports Center, individual conference titles went to Coffin (60), Peters (200 and 400), Derek Zulkoski (pole vault), Ashley Styskal (600), Amber Brandenburger (mile), Bridget Baldwin (3,000) and Brittany Hubbard (5,000). Peters was named Male Athlete of the Meet after scoring 28 points and recording conference meet records in the 60 (prelims), 200 and 400. Hubbard’s time of 18:15.11 in the 5K was also a new meet record. Both the men and women placed second in the final team scoring.
  
  NWU hosted its annual Prairie Wolf Invitational on Feb. 16 at the Devaney Center as well. Coffin earned Nebraska Wesleyan’s highest individual finish by placing second in the 200-meter dash. Styskal and Brandenburger set new school records by placing sixth in the 600 (1:38.28) and fourth in the 1,000 (2:59.11), respectively.
  
  For the fourth year in a row, the Prairie Wolves brought home both team titles from the Dennis Young Invitational hosted on Feb. 10 by Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. Brandenburger and Peters were both named GPAC/Hauff Mid-America Sports Indoor Track Athletes of the Week for their performances. Brandenburger won the mile and Peters won two events and set both the meet record and NWU school record in the 400.
  
  Coffin won the same award for his performances in the 60 and 200 at the Adidas Classic hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Jan. 27. He finished seventh overall, behind six NCAA Div. I runners, in both events.
  
  2007 Outdoor Wrap-up
  
  The NWU women claimed second place as a team at the GPAC Outdoor Championships for the sixth time in the league’s seven-year history. Individual conference titles went to Holly Andrews (100 hurdles), Amber Brandenburger (1,500) and Brittany Hubbard (5,000 and 10,000). Brandenburger’s time of 4:40.09 was a meet record and also broke Courtney Clinard’s 2001 school record.
  
  Andrews went on to compete at the NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships, along with Mikaela Richard (high jump) and Lindsey Snowdon (heptathlon). Andrews was NWU’s lone All-American for the women with an eighth-place finish in the 100 hurdles and the Prairie Wolves tied for 67th as a team.
  
  During the meet, national media grew interested in Snowdon, who was later selected and featured by CBS Sports during the NCAA’s Spring Championships Special, which aired nationally on July 1. Interviews with Bulling, Snowdon and her fiancé accompanied some photos from her tour of duty with the National Guard in Iraq and footage of Snowdon in action at the national meet.
  
  NWU’s team title at Grinnell College’s Dick Young Classic was another season highlight for the women. Bridget Baldwin helped propel the Prairie Wolves to victory with a meet record performance in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (11:10.70).
  
  Academically, Nebraska Wesleyan’s women ranked No. 16 nationally in Division III with a combined team GPA of 3.44 and received the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team award. Individually, Andrews and Hubbard were named to the Academic All-District VII Second Team.
