INDIANAPOLIS - The Great Midwest Athletic Conference has announced the first weekly honors of the 2020-21 indoor track & field season, and Tiffin's Marisa Gwinner has received the women's field award.

Gwinner still holds the title of defending national champion in the high jump, her signature event. By all accounts from her first try of 2020-21, it's a label she won't be giving up anytime soon.
 
Gwinner's first attempt at the Tiffin Challenge was an impressive one as she cleared 1.77m, second only to her own PR, school record, and conference record of 1.80m.
 
She edged out the field which included teammate Mercedeez Francis, who recorded a cleared height of 1.71m, good for a spot in the conference top 10 list while provisionally qualifying for nationals.
 
Gwinner auto qualified for nationals and is tops in Division II with the new qualifying standards just released.
 
This is her fifth career conference field athlete of the week nod since 2018. She has a share of eight of the top 10 marks in conference history, including the championship record.
