COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Ten Colorado Mesa University women's indoor track and field athletes combined for 13 All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference honors, which were officially released on Thursday in conjunction with the conference's major award winners.
 
The Maverick women had two individual champions and claimed five medals as the RMAC Indoor Championships, which were contested on Feb. 23-24 at Black Hills State University in Spearfish, South Dakota.  Those medalists, who all earned top three finishes in their respective events, were given first team all-conference honors.  The Mavericks, who finished third as a team and in the top-3 for the fourth straight year, also received eight second team honors, which went to the fourth through sixth place finishers in each individual event.
 
High jump champion and national championship qualifier Josie Coffey and pentathlon winner Katie Thomson led the Maverick contingent and were joined by Jordan Brockman, Jordan Burnett, Hope Matteson as First Team All-RMAC performers.
 
Coffey has now won four RMAC high jumping titles in her career and is now a 6-time All-RMAC performer.  Thomson claimed her first RMAC title and now has three all-conference certificates in her career account.

Meanwhile, Kirstin Williams (5,000 meters), Venesa Handzhiyska (long jump), Kylee Kielian (triple jump) and Augustine Hancock (weight throw) also earned second team honors as first-time all-conference performers in track and field.  Williams had also earned a First Team All-RMAC honor in cross country last fall.
