INDIANAPOLIS - The Great Midwest Athletic Conference released the 2019-20 Men's Indoor Track & Field All-Conference teams and individual awards on Thursday, with 16 Tiffin members earning recognition including Cameron Burrows as Field Athlete of the Year and Jeremy Croy as Coach of the Year.

Croy also led the Dragons to sixteen honors a season ago, including himself as Coach of the Year both times as the Dragons have dominated the conference championships in both seasons as a member of the GMAC, winning both by wide margins including nearly 100 points this year.

Individual honors correspond to each athlete's top event finish at the conference championships, with a first-place finish receiving First Team honors, second-place to Second Team, and third-place to Third Team.
