USTFCCCA DIII Regional Honorees

After an outstanding season, Liam Bourassa of Fitchburg State was recognized by the U.S. Track and Field Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) as the Division III Northeast Men's Field Athlete of the Year.

Bourassa finished runner-up in the javelin throw and tenth in the hammer throw at the NCAA DIII Outdoor Championships. His 73.55m (241-4) PR in La Crosse, Wisconsin, moved him up to No. 5 in NCAA DIII history. Bourassa swept the throwing slate clean at three meets in which he competed, including a 40-point effort at the MASCAC Outdoor Championships. He became the first athlete to win both the hammer and javelin at the NEICAA Championships.

Each of the ten regions – Great Lakes, Metro, Mid-Atlantic, Mideast, Midwest, Niagara, North, Northeast, South, West – honored both genders’ top track athletes and field athletes as well as the top men’s and women’s head coaches and assistant coaches.

Award winners were determined by a vote of USTFCCCA member coaches. Only those individuals from USTFCCCA member programs are eligible for awards.
