 . . . June 1995
By Brett Forrest Sophomore Kevin Sullivan of Brantford, Ontario, Canada, received the track and field College Athlete of the Year award from College Sports magazine.
Earlier, he won the NCAA mile title and turned in a brilliant anchoring run to lead the distance medley relay team to first place. U-M's fourth place finish (tied with the University of Illinois) at the nationals was the team's top performance ever.
This month, Sullivan won the 1,500 meter run at the NCAA Championships in 3:37:57.
Joining Sullivan as a '95 All American was Tyrone Wheatley '95 of Inkster, Michigan, who was eighth on the 100 meter hurdles. Wheatley, a star football running back for four years, was the first-round draft choice of the New York Giants.
