Breaking two more school records last week, Sam Zook earns his third GNAC Player of the Week honor of the 2016-17 season. PORTLAND, Ore. – Breaking two more school records at Montana State University Billings’ first outdoor meet of the season last weekend, junior sprinter Sam Zook has been named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player of the Week for the third time this year announced the conference office Monday. “We are excited for Sam to again win this weekly honor,” said MSUB head coach Dave Coppock. “He put together two outstanding races last weekend at Montana State. It wasn’t so much about how fast he ran this week, but more about how relaxed he looked doing it. I had to double-take when I looked at my stopwatch.” Zook blazed his way to the school record in both the 100-meters and 200-meters, and won both heats in the dual meet with the Bobcats. He ran a 10.68 in the 100 to better Rory Bauer’s mark of 10.87 set in 2013. He followed with a 21.61 in the 200-meters, topping another one of Bauer’s records which was 21.74.
