Cyclones retain NJCAA
ranking into 2012
The Cyclones had a good run in 2011. In the
first half of the season, the men’s and women’s basketball teams are over .500
with double-digit wins and both are still ranked in the top 20 in the NJCAA
Division II polls. The women are at 16, up from 17, and the men are at 18, an
improvement from their previous rank at 20. Both squads resume play on Jan. 7

Fall sports season wraps up with
some national appeal
With the changing of the leaves comes the
changing of the sports. The Cyclone basketball season is already in full swing,
but not without national accomplishments by some 2011 fall sports teams.
The men’s and women’s
cross country teams just returned four runners from the NJCAA Division I Cross
Country Championship in Hobbs, New Mexico on Nov. 12. Alex Dovgin (Andrew) and
Cande Pizano (Reavis) finished in 83rd (21:30) and 171st (22:58), respectively,
on the 5K course, while Adam Gurke (Reavis) crossed the finish line in 268th
place (33:42) on an 8K course. Jon Altman (Sandburg) could not finish because of
illness.
The men’s golf team
was not only crowned the 2011 Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference champs, but
also qualified as a group, for only the second time in Cyclone history, for the
NJCAA Division II Golf Championship in Plymouth, Indiana in May.
The women’s tennis
team also is traveling in May, but to Texas for the NJCAA tournament. The squad
hasn’t been to nationals as a unit since 2007.

Three Cyclones named Player
of the Week
It was a good week for Cyclone sports as
three athletes were named player of the week on Sept. 25 in the Illinois Skyway
Collegiate Conference.
Tennis player Veronica Canseco (Argo) won both her matches last week, giving her
a 5-0 record in the conference at sixth singles. Sophomore runner Alex Dovgin
(Andrew) helped her team earn the top finish among community colleges at the
Forester Invitational on Sept. 24 by racing to 38th place out of 133 finishers.
Cyclone golfer Ryan Frederick (Lockport) averaged 73.4 in the conference this
season and was named Skyway Player of the Year.
