The following CCC student-athletes have been recognized as Red Lion Players of the Week for their performances during the period May 6-May 12.
 

Men’s Outdoor Field

Michael Schmidt of Corban has been chosen as the Red Lion men’s outdoor field Athlete of the Week.

 

Schmidt, the CCC Champion in the decathlon, was named the CCC Men's Field Athlete of the Meet for his tremendous performance at this weekend’s CCC Track & Field Championships, presented by U.S. Bank. His effort included a first-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles (54.73 seconds), a fourth-place finish in the long jump (6.73 meters), and a ridiculous 46.38-second anchor leg in a thrilling victory for Corban in the men's 4x400-meter relay.

Women’s Outdoor Field

Paige Dodd of Eastern Oregon has been chosen as the Red Lion women’s outdoor field Athlete of the Week.

 

Dodd accounted for 34 points for the Mountaineers at this weekend’s meet, first winning the heptathlon title at the CCC Multi-Event Championships a few weeks prior. She then proceeded to take third in the long jump and high jump at this weekend’s championships, good enough for All-Conference plaudits in both. In addition, the junior from Burbank, Wash. placed fifth in the 100-meter hurdles and helped the 4x400-meter relay team take first to end the meet. She has qualified for nationals in four events, including the heptathlon, high jump, 100-meter hurdles and as a member of the 4x400 team.

Women’s Outdoor Track

Katherine Lucas of British Columbia has been named the Red Lion women’s outdoor track Athlete of the Week.

 

Lucas was named the Women’s Track Athlete of the Meet at the CCC Championships down in Ashland this weekend. She won two individual titles, setting a meet record in the 100-meter dash at 11.78 seconds, and taking the 200 meters in 24.52 seconds. Lucas was also part of Thunderbirds' 4x100-meter relay team that placed fourth with a time of 48.61 seconds. Her performance helped British Columbia win the CCC women's title in its first-ever appearance at the CCC meet.

Men’s Outdoor Track

Chris Rosero of Southern Oregon has been chosen as the Red Lion men’s outdoor track Athlete of the Week.

 

Rosero, a junior out of Redding, Calif., left no questions as to who the CCC’s fastest male sprinter was at this weekend’s championship meet. He was named the CCC Men’s Track Athlete of the Meet after sweeping the 100 meters (10.69 seconds) and 200 meters (21.73 seconds), hitting the NAIA ‘B’ standard in the former. He also helped the Raider men’s 4x100-meter relay team to a first-place finish (41.78 seconds), part of Southern Oregon’s 10^th all-time team title.
