Nearman, a native of Monroe, Wis., receives the Women's Running Events honor after registering a 16:36.61 in the 5,000 meter at the Mt. Sac Relays. The NCAA Regional qualifying time, which established a school record, ranks first in the Horizon League this season and 32nd nationally.
Curry, a native of Thornville, Ohio, picks up the Women's Field Events award after turning in a 14.17-meter toss in the shot put at the Sparks Adams Invitational in Berea, Ohio. The mark, which established a school standard and took first place at the event, ranks first in the Horizon League this season.
