WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS
Western Carolina swept the Southern Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the Catamount Athletic Complex in May, with the Catamount men wrapping up their third straight title and the women winning their third in four years. Western Carolina senior Scott Peretin was named the male Most Outstanding Field Performer, while fellow Catamount Dasha Arnaut, a junior, was named the female Most Outstanding Track Performer for the second straight year. WCU coach Cale McDaniel ’10 MAEd ’13 earned men’s and women’s Coach of the Year honors. Earlier in the year, the men’s track and field team captured its fifth straight Southern Conference Indoor Championship, downing second place Samford by just three points. The women came up just short of winning their third title in the last five years as they fell to Samford by 11 points.
