SIOUX FALLS – Augustana’s Tracy Hellman has been selected the 2006 co-coach of the year for North Central Conference women’s indoor track and field.
Hellman’s Vikings earned a third-place finish in last weekend’s conference championships with 98 points. It’s the highest finish ever for a Viking women’s team at a NCC indoor or outdoor championship meet.
Augustana secured four individual titles – Rachel Stangler (Albany, MN) in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs; Lindsey Schultz (Lakeville, MN) in the shot put; and Janie Sershen (Chester, SD) in the pentathlon.
Hellman is in his third year as Augustana’s head track and field coach. He served as an assistant coach for five seasons. This is his first NCC coach of the year award.
