COLORADO SPRINGS - Josii Johnson earned First Team All-RMAC honors and Westminster men's and women's indoor track and field teams had five total student-athletes recognized as all-conference performers which was announced by the league office on Thursday.
The first team and second team All-RMAC rosters are determined by final results at the RMAC Indoor Track and Field Championships, which took place Feb. 25-26 in Gunnison, Colo.
First, second and third-place finishers at the RMAC Championships are named first team all-conference while fourth, fifth and sixth-place finishers are named second team all-conference in all individual events. For relay events, the first-place team is named first team all-conference and second-place team is named second team all-conference.
Joining Johnson on this year's all-conference list were teammates
Aiden Urban (men's 800m),
Saydi Anderson (women's 5000m),
Courtney McAlindon (women's 1-mile), and
Emily Worline (800m), who each received second team honors.
Urban, the lone male Westminster student-athlete to crack the all-conference marks, finished fifth in the men's 800-meter at the RMAC Championships.
Johnson fell less than three seconds from her school record time at the conference meet in Gunnison, finishing second with a 2:14.50. Worline also clocked her second-best time of the season at the RMAC Championships, finishing with a time of 2;16.24 to place fourth in the 800-meter finals.
