TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- Behind three event wins and multiple all-conference performances, the Northern Iowa men's track team claimed its second consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Outdoor Track and Field championship Sunday.
Holding a slim 10 point lead over Illinois State after two days, the Panthers rolled to a 52-point win, finishing with 183.25 points as head coach Dave Paulsen won his second consecutive Coach of the Year award.
It was UNI's ninth overall men's outdoor championship, and the first time it has won back-to-back since it won three straight from 2007-09.
Claiming individual titles for the men Sunday were Isaac Holtz in the discus, Evan Long in the 400 and Connor Ham in the 110 hurdles.
