NEW ORLEANS -- The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has selected a pair of Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) athletes for its latest National Division III Outdoor Track & Field Athletes of the Week, the organization announced on Monday.

Arthur (Sr. | Champlin, Minn.) made history at the 2025 MIAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships this past weekend when he completed the 100-200 sweep for the fourth consecutive year. Arthur broke a six-year-old program record in the 100 when he ran 10.19 and registered a season-best 20.81 in the 200. Arthur started the final day of the championship off with a leg on the title-winning 4×100 relay. This is the first time in program history that an athlete from Saint John's has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the outdoor season.

Geraets (Sr. | Mankato, Minn.) won three individual titles and assisted on a runner-up relay squad to amass 32 points and propel Gustavus Adolphus to the team title. The senior standout topped the podium in the 200 meters, 400 meters, and long jump, with her most notable result coming in the one-lapper, where she clocked PR 53.87 to surge to the top of the seasonal Descending Order List. This is also the first time in program history that an athlete from Gustavus has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the outdoor season.

The National Athletes of the Week are selected and presented by the USTFCCCA Communications Staff at the beginning of each week to at least 12 collegiate track & field athletes, when applicable (men's and women's sports for each of the three NCAA divisions, the NAIA, and the NJCAA). The award seeks to highlight not only the very best times, marks, and scores on a week-to-week basis, but also performances that were significant on the national landscape and/or the latest in a series of strong outings. Quality of competition, suspenseful finishes and other factors will also play a role in the decision.
