Jennette Goans is the Athlete of the Month for March 2012, due to her outstanding performances in Track and Field during February. Goans earned three different top-five finishes, including a new school record, personal bests, and other great honors.
At Kent State (Feb. 18), Goans established a new school record in the 1,000 meter run. She finished with a time of 3:13.81, good enough for a fifth place finish in the race. She also placed fifth in the 500-meter dash (1:24.50) at Mount Union.
Her best placement of the month came at Indiana Wesleyan, where she took home fourth place in the 800-meter run (2:29.21). Oddly enough, she topped that score a week later at Kent State by almost four seconds, but placed 19th in a much larger field of NCAA Division I, II, and III runners. That time moved her into second all-time at Ursuline in the 800.
Goans stands in the top-five at Ursuline in nine different events, three of which came last month. Her only other finish last month was an 11th place finish in the Mile run at Indiana Wesleyan (5:59.86), which moved her into the top-five all-time at Ursuline as well.
