COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado School of Mines’ Loic Scomparin and Colorado Mesa‘s Salem Brunk are the Week Six Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week, respectively, the league announced Wednesday.
Men’s Track Athlete of the Week: Loic Scomparin, Colorado School of Mines – R-Sr. – Dublin, Calif.
Scomparin was dominant at the Colorado Invitational, hosted by the University of Colorado over the weekend. Against Division I competition, Scomparin won the men’s mile with a time of 4:03.61, which has since been adjusted for altitude to a converted time of 3:57.67. That altitude-adjusted time currently ranks fourth in NCAA Division II this season. His impressive mile time stands as the fastest mile performance on Colorado soil in Colorado School of Mines history. It also stands as the fastest mile run on Colorado soil by an RMAC student-athlete in the history of the TFRRS database, which dates back to 2011. Scomparin now holds the third best mile time in Oredigger history and the fourth best time in the RMAC this season. The Orediggers will be back in action on February 9, as they will travel to Boston, Mass., to compete in the David Hemery Valentin Invitational.
