Other Nominees:
Nick Monroe, a junior from Olathe, Kan., ran his men's tennis record to 5-0 in the ACC and won his sixth successive singles match at #2 singles with three wins over ACC opponents last week. Monroe defeated Derrick Spice 6-2, 6-2 of Wake Forest on Wednesday, nationally-ranked Romain Jurd of Florida State 7-5, 5-7, 7-6 on Friday and Rylan Rizza of Virginia 6-7, 6-4, 7-6 on Sunday. Monroe's 7-4 win in the third set tiebreaker over Rizzla gave UNC its first ACC win of the season as the No. 41 Tar Heels upset No. 30 Virginia 4-3.
Sophomore Vikas Gowda's throw of 194-7 in the discus broke the 11-year-old mark of 186-10 held by Harlis Meaders. It topped his personal best by more than 13 feet en route to a fifth place finish this weekend. This is the first school record set on the men's side in two years.
Sophomore Laura Gerraughty set a new mark in the hammer throw at 204-2 while winning the event. She previously held the record with a throw of 200-2. She also won the shot put and finished third in the discus. She posted NCAA regional qualifying marks in all three events.
