Former Wyoming Cowgirls soccer forward Mercy Adetoye and current Cowboys runner Mark Korir were honored Wednesday by being named to their respective Mountain West Conference 10th Anniversary teams.
The class of elite student athletes was selected by a combined panel of media, institutional and conference personnel and on-line fan poll. In order to be eligible for consideration, candidates must have been a First-Team All-Mountain West selection at least once in their careers.
Adetoye was selected to the MWC All-Conference First Team the final three years of her career. She still holds six Cowgirl soccer records, including 24 career goals, 10 career assists, 58 career points and career shots. She also holds the single season record for assists with seven and shots with 73.
Adetoye is currently working on her Masters Degree at the University of Wyoming.
Korir enters his senior year in cross country this fall as a two-time All-American and All-Conference selection. The Eldoret, Kenya, native placed 19th at the 2007 NCAA Cross Country Championships and 22nd in 2006. Korir is the third runner in UW history to earn All-America status twice in his career.
Anniversary teams will be chosen for each of the 19 conference-sponsored sports during the 2008-09 seasons in celebration of the Mountain West’s 10th anniversary.
