Usually I try to get this up on Sunday night, but there was this little game on TV last night and I didn’t think anyone would pay attention. So here it is on Monday.

Plus, at the bottom we have the top eight marks of the weekend in each event. Check it out.

Let’s get to it!

Men

Athlete of the Week: Japheth Cato, Wisconsin
Cato won the heptathlon at Nebraska’s Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational with a score of 6,024 points. It’s the eleventh-best heptathlon mark ever by a collegian, and also makes him one of only three collegians to ever have multiple scores of 6,000 or more.

Honorable Mention goes to Brandon Pounds of Indiana State. He won the weight throw at Notre Dame’s Meyo Invitational with a distance of 73′ 11¾” (22.55m), which makes him the #9 US collegian of all time.

Division II: Drew Windle of Ashland won the 800 meters at the Akron Invitational in a time of 1:49.36, a D-II leading time and 15th among all divisions.

Division III: I’ll agree with the USTFCCCA’s choice and go with Marcus Smith of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Doubling up at the Leonard “Squig” Converse Invitational, Smith won the 60 meter hurdles in 8.01 seconds, the 6th-fastest in D-III history, and also triple jumped 50′ 4½” (15.35m) for a D-III leading mark.

NAIA: Ray Carney of Siena Heights took second in the weight throw at the Findlay Open with a distance of 67′ 6¼” (20.58m), which puts him tenth on the all-division collegiate list.

CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport): Taylor Stewart of Western Ontario took second in the long jump (first collegian) at the Meyo Invitational with a distance of 24′ 11¾” (7.61m), a CIS-leading mark and the fourth-best of the weekend among all North American collegians.

Team of the Week: Nebraska Cornhuskers
Competing at their own Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational, Nebraska’s men put up the best marks of any college team this week. These marks came in the 200 meters, 600 meters, 5000 meters, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and 4×400 relay.

Honorable mention goes to Texas A&M for winning the Armory Collegiate Invitational.

Team Player: Austin Batiste, Navy
In a tight five-point victory over archrival Army, Batiste won the 200 meters and 400 meters and ran third leg on the losing 4×400 relay.

Canadian in America: Mississippi State freshman Brandon McBride, a prize recruit out of Windsor, Ontario, ran his first collegiate 800 on Saturday at Notre Dame’s Meyo Invitational. He led from wire to wire and broke the 21-year-old Canadian junior indoor record, running 1:47.74.

Women

Athlete of the Week: Brianna Rollins, Clemson
Rollins won the 60 meter hurdles at the Armory Collegiate Invitational with a time of 7.93 seconds, which is tied for the 8th best ever by a collegian. Her winning margin is just as remarkable: 0.27 seconds, over teammate Bridgette Owens, the #3 hurdler on the 2013 collegiate list. Rollins also won the 200 meters at the ACI, in 23.22 seconds.

Honorable mention goes to Kansas’ Andrea Guebelle. She won the long jump at the Armory Collegiate Invitational with a distance of 21′ 11½” (6.69m), which makes her the #8 U.S. collegian of all time.

Division II: Findlay’s Jessica Rowland took second in the weight throw at the Oilers’ own Findlay Open. Her distance of 68′ 11¾” (21.02m) puts her ninth on the 2013 all-division collegiate list. More importantly, she defeated D-II leader Sam Lockhart of Grand Valley State.

Division III: Melissa Norville of Illinois College won the triple jump at the Lady Blues’ own Jim Green Invitational with a distance of 40′ 7″ (12.37m). While not a PR, it still rates as one of the best ever in D-III history.

NAIA: Also competing at the Jim Green Invitational, Missouri Valley’s Hanna Wood long jumped 21′ ¾” (6.42m), the second best mark of the weekend among all divisions. She didn’t win, though, as for some reason she was entered into the men’s competition, where she took fifth.

CIS: Western Ontario’s Caroline Ehrhardt took second in the triple jump (first collegian) at Notre Dame’s Meyo Invitational. Her distance, 41′ 9¾” (12.74m) is a CIS leader and was sixth-best of the weekend among all North American collegians.

Team of the Week: LSU Tigers
LSU went into the Armory Collegiate Invitational against the nation’s #1 and #2 teams and came out with the win. You can’t do much better than that.

Honorable mention goes to Clemson, who put up a fine collection of marks at the Armory Collegiate Invitational in the 60 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, 60 hurdles, and 4×400 relay.

Team player: Lisa Junta, Army
In a losing effort against archrival Navy, Junta did her part to try to break the Army losing streak that now stretches to eight straight indoor meets. At 12:30pm she won the mile (5:05.39), at 1:50pm she 3000 meters (10:20.95), and at 2:15pm she ran third leg on the winning 4×800 relay.

Chris Berman, have you thought of: Notre Dame distance runner Meg Ryan “…I’ll have what she’s having”
