MILWAUKEE – To cap off the NACC weekly awards for the 2025-26 season, AJ Springer and Daniel Franklin IV have earned NACC weekly honors for their performances for the MSOE track & field team.

Springer, a junior from Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, won the 800-meter run at the UW-La Crosse Uncaged Eagle Open with a new NACC and MSOE record of 1:48.99. He went under the 1:50 barrier for the first time in his career and takes the nation's fourth-best time into the NCAA Championships. Springer broke his own NACC all-time mark of 1:51.38 set in mid-April, also at UW-La Crosse - site of this year's national meet.

Franklin, a freshman from Oak Creek, Wisconsin, finished second in the triple jump at the UW-La Crosse Uncaged Eagle Open, leaping 14.43 meters (47-4 1/4). The mark is a new MSOE school record and sits 37th on the NCAA Division III performance list.
