The SCIAC Athletes of the Week have been named and the honorees are: Redlands' R.J. Scholl (men's golf); CMS' Matt Roberson (men's track and field); and Redlands' Ashley Milligan (women's track and field).

Redlands: R.J. Scholl (Men's Golf)
Scholl tied for first place at the SCIAC 36-hole Championships on Monday with a two-round total of 143 for one-under par. The senior helped Redlands finish 2nd at the tournament and win the conference title overall. R.J. and teammate Nick Obie earned SCIAC Co-Players of the Year for their consistent low-scoring performances at conference competitions.

CMS: Matt Roberson (Men's Track & Field)
The senior from Seattle, WA won two individual events and anchored the winning 4 x 400 relay to lead the Stags to their 15th straight SCIAC Championship. He went from fourth to first on his final attempt in the long jump to set the CMS school record of 23-4.5 and win by a foot. He won the 400 hurdles by 1.55 seconds and the relay team won by over two seconds. He also placed second in the pole vault, third in the 110 hurdles, fourth in the triple jump, fifth in the javelin and made the finals in both the shot put and discus. He scored 42.5 points in the meet, 19.5 more than the next highest individual total. An NCAA qualifier in both the long jump and 400 hurdles, Roberson also leads the nation in the decathlon.

Redlands: Ashley Milligan (Women's Track and Field)
In only her first year as a collegiate student-athlete, Ashley proved invaluable at the SCIAC Championships on Monday and Tuesday as she captured conference titles in the 100 with a time of 12.47 and 200 by crossing the finish line in 25.84. She also ran the third leg of the winning 4x100 relay that finished in 49.56, while competing on the second-place 4x400 relay that clocked in at 4:03.95. Overall, she contributed 38 points to the Bulldogs' total of 102.
