Justin Sorensen

Mitchell, S.D. – Tiger athlete-of-the-week award goes to Junior, Track & Field athlete Justin Sorensen from Vermillion, S.D. Sorensen posted a 2:34.91 time in the 1000m which ranks second all-time in DWU history in that event at the home DWU Snow Tiger Meet. Justin was very close to the national standard time in this event.

Sorensen also finished with a career-beset time of 9:15.48 in the 3000m at the SDSU Holiday Open & Multi. Justin’s early success in the track season is a spillover from his cross-country season where he crossed the line with a career-best 25:56.6 which ranks seventh all-time in DWU history in the 8k at the Defender Holiday Inn Express Classic. He had a very strong showing finishing 17^th at the GPAC Championship but just missing the cut for nationals. 

Sorensen and the Tigers just wrapped up their home DWU Snow Tiger Invite meet and don’t compete until after Christmas break when they travel to Sioux Center, Iowa for the Dordt Indoor Open January 14^th starting at 12:00 p.m.
