Both the men's and women's basketball teams had two team members nominated for All-Midwest Conference honors.

Katy Bowen '06 and Hannah Wolf '08 were voted to the All-MWC women's basketball team this past Tuesday, Feb. 28. Bowen was selected for First Team All-MWC honors and Wolf was selected for the All-MWC Second Team.

This is the third year in a row that Bowen has been nominated for the All-MWC First Team and the second year in a row that Wolf was nominated for the All-MWC Second Team.

For the men, first years John Grotberg and Davie Arseneault were nominated for All-MWC honors. Grotberg was selected for the All-MWC First team, with the second highest points per game average in the nation and the highest points per game average in the league.

Men's and women's indoor track and field

The Pioneer men's and women's indoor track and field teams will participate in the MWC Indoor Track and Field Championships today and tomorrow.

The championships will be hosted at Monmouth College this year, so the Pioneers will be traveling to Illinois to compete with eight other schools for the MWC title. The Monmouth Fighting Scots have been a dominating presence in the MWC Indoor Track Championships, taking both the men's and women's titles six and five times, respectively, in the last six years.

The Fighting Scots will have a home court advantage this year, but the Pioneers are looking to fight their way out of the middle of the pack with strong performances by the entire team.
