Michigan Tech track and field runner Sam Lange recently competed in the Phil Esten Challenge in La Crosse, Wisconsin, where he set a season-best time in the 1,500m race and emerged victorious. This accomplishment earned him the title of GLIAC Track Athlete of the Week, marking the first time he has received this honor in his career at Michigan Tech.
Hailing from Washington, Illinois, Lange maintained his undefeated streak with an impressive performance at the Phil Esten Challenge. He clocked an NCAA Provisional qualifying time of 3:48.38 in the 1,500m event. This win was his fourth victory of the outdoor season.
Looking ahead, Lange and the rest of the GLIAC roster are gearing up for the GLIAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships hosted by Grand Valley State, scheduled for May 1-3. It promises to be an exciting opportunity for Lange to showcase his talents and continue his successful season.
