Three terrific interviews on this week's GNAC Insider, the conference's weekly radio show featuring administrators, coaches and student-athletes from across the footprint.
Joining host Robert Lowery were Concordia athletic director Lauren Eads, Western Oregon softball coach Lonny Sargent and Alaska Anchorage distance star Caroline Kurgat.
Eads, now in her second year as director of athletics at CU, talked about the Cavs' postseason run to the GNAC Championships title last week in Portland. Eads joined the show from California, where she accompanied the softball team to the NCAA West Regionals.
Sargent, the Wolves' seventh-year coach, also was in southern California, where his team was among the five at-large selections participating in the West Regionals. WOU was the No. 2 seed in the GNAC tourney last week.
Kurgat, a senior, will be closing out one of the most impressive careers in Division II track and field/cross country history this spring. A nursing major from Kenya, Kurgat has won national titles in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track, and has set Division II records on multiple occasions.
