COLORADO SPRINGS - Women's Freshman of the Year Emily LaMena leads 40 total all-RMAC honors for Colorado School of Mines in the outdoor track & field season.

The Mines men had 23 student-athletes earn 30 total all-RMAC honors, while 17 Oredigger women received 20 awards. Among the honorees are 10 RMAC champions: Everett Delate (110m hurdles), Alex Shaw (steeplechase), Jeremiah Vaille (5,000m and 10,000m), Allison Comer (400m hurdles), Jennifer Jarnagin (hammer), LaMena (steeplechase), Kitt Rupar (discus), Jenna Ramsey-Rutledge (5,000m), Dale Thompson (pole vault), and Avery Wright (heptathlon). 

Competitors earn First-Team All-RMAC honors by finishing first, second, or third in an event at the RMAC Championships, with second-team honors going to finishers four through six. For relays, the winners earn first-team and runners-up second-team honors.

To earn the conference's Freshman of the Year award, LaMena dominated the RMAC Championships' 3,000m steeplechase event in April, winning gold by more than 14 seconds. Her run of 10:21.58 at the Stanford Invitational set the Mines program record and ranks #7 nationally as she is one of only three freshmen to qualify for the NCAA Championships in the steeplechase.
