WSU’s All-Americans
Three Wichita State thinclads earned All-America honors this season at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. (Honors are awarded to athletes who finish in the top ten of their respective event.)
Leading the squad was standout Randy Lewis, with a fifth place finish in the triple jump. It is the second time Lewis received the distinction.
Jens Lukoschat, Wichita State’s top decathalete, finished seventh in his event with 7,364 points.
And Allison Berry finished ninth in the javelin with a top throw of 158’9.” It was her first trip to nationals.
Season Record: 39-20
Wichita State’s softball team finished its season with a tough 4-3 loss to Evansville in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. The loss brought WSU’s season record to 39-20 overall, 16-9 in the MVC.
Squad members, including senior Audrey Walters, came off an exciting eight-game win streak in April to fall into a May slump. Yet the team wasn’t without its late-season highlights.
The Greater Wichita Sports Commission named Tina Lewis, Wichita State’s shortstop, the College Female Athlete-of-the-Year. Lewis was also named the MVC Player-of-the-Year.
