Justin Baum Earns NCCAA Student Athlete Of The Week Accolades

Justin Baum, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio (Kenston H.S.) and a senior distance runner on the Malone College men’s indoor track & field team, was recently recognized as the National Christian College Athletic Association Men’s Indoor Track & Field Student Athlete of the Week following his strong performance at the All-Ohio Championships over the weekend (February 15-16, 2008).
 
Baum won the 5000 meter run at the event in a NAIA Indoor National Championship automatic qualifying time of 14:57.09, helping the Pioneers take fifth out of eight teams.  Baum was the only non-NCAA Division I athlete to place among the event’s top eight finishers.
 
Malone will compete at the Kent State University Tune-Up Meet on Saturday at 9:00 a.m. in their final competition before the NAIA Indoor National Championships March 6-8 in Johnson City, Tennessee.
