RICHMOND, VA - The Colonial Athletic Association announced today its post-season award winners for track and field, as well as the all-conference honorees from each school. William and Mary was once again honored, picking up at least one award for the eighth straight year and ninth out of the last ten.

Head women’s coach Kathy Newberry earned her first track Coach of the Year award from the CAA after guiding the Tribe to its sixth-consecutive conference title. Newberry’s athletes earned four individual championships, at 800m and 5,000m and in the discus and heptathlon, and earned a total of 10 all-conference nods. This is Newberry’s second Coach of the Year award in her career, after she was similarly honored by the CAA in cross country.
