Five members of the Nevada Wolf Pack track & field team were named to the All-Mountain West Indoor Track & Field team following the weekend’s conference championship.

Seniors Alison Powers, Emily Myers and Fiyin Olusola, junior Brittany Graves and sophomore Cora Gallop all earned honors for their performances at the conference championships. Those who medaled at the meet earn the All-Mountain West honors. The five Wolf Pack student-athletes led Nevada to its best indoor championships finish since joining the Mountain West for the 2013 meet. Additionally, Nevada’s distance medley relay team was also honored for their third-place finish.

“It was great to see these student-athletes up on the podium this weekend, and it’s even better to see them earn the extra recognition for all their hard work,” coach Shantel Twiggs said in a news release.

Three of the five broke their own school records as Powers took bronze in the pole vault, Olusola took bronze in the 60 meter hurdles and Myers snagged silver in the 5000 meter. Gallop earned bronze in the 3000 meter, while Graves also got a bronze medal for her performance in the triple jump.

As a team, the Wolf Pack took fifth, improving two spots from last year’s championships.
