Lien named AAC Field Athlete of the Week

IRVING, Texas – Redshirt freshman Mia Lien has been named the American Athletic Conference Women’s field Athlete of the Week, officials from the conference office announced on Tuesday. This marks the second weekly award for the Roadrunners this outdoor season.

A first-year performer from Jakobsli, Norway, Lien had an impressive weekend at Texas A&M’s 44 Farms Team Invitational, earning 5,741 points in the heptathlon – the third most points in the nation. Her performance in College Station registered as the second-most heptathlon points in school history. She also set a school record in high jump at 1.83m (6-0) – the sixth-highest mark in the nation, while jumping 6.30m (20-8) in long jump – the 21st-best mark in the nation.

This marks the second AAC Athlete of the Week honor for the Roadrunners this outdoor season and the first of Lien’s career. This is the fourth overall UTSA outdoor AAC honor and the ninth for either season for UTSA since the program joined The American before the 2023-24 school year.

The next competition on the schedule Lien and the Roadrunners is a trip to Walnut, California this weekend for the 65th Annual Mt. SAC Relays, running April 16-19.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Malia Gementera and Taylor Hagenah earned their third Top Flight award for their efforts at the first flight. Megan Widener and Demi Wagdy won for their outstanding season at the fifth flight as the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced the recipients.

Gementera and Hagenah were one of the best first flight duos in the nation with a 33-4 record. The duo has never dropped more than nine matches in a season, with their junior campaign being no exception.

Megan Widener and Demi Wagdy have had success as a duo this season, most notably at the fifth flight. They went on a 12-win streak mid-season, taking down pairs from LMU and Hawaii. They also were named Big West Pair of the Week after going 4-0 during the Death Volley Invitational. Widener and Wagdy continued to find success even after being moved up to the third flight for the Big West conference tournament. Their win at the third flight was the dual clinching point to earn the Beach another Big West Championship.

The Top Flight program, now in its seventh year, recognizes beach pairs who compete in at least 15 matches together at a specific flight and win at least 75% of their matches. This year, 88 pairs representing 45 schools—from all three NCAA divisions, NAIA, and Two-Year Colleges—have earned Top Flight status.

Community Rallies Behind Beloved Water Polo Coach

A cornerstone of the Laguna Beach community was injured after being hit by a car while walking his two dogs. When the incident occurred, coach Chad Beeler was walking Penny and Kona on April 21. He sustained multiple injuries, including a broken clavicle. Sadly, his dog, Penny, was killed in the accident. 

“Chad has been a cornerstone of the Laguna Beach community for over 30 years. He’s taught, coached, and mentored generations of local kids—as a longtime Laguna Beach lifeguard, head of the Junior Lifeguard Program, coach for many LBHS water polo teams, director of Laguna Beach Water Polo Club, and the heart behind countless summer beach camps for our littlest locals,” his GoFundMe reads. “If you know Coach Chad, you know how much those dogs mean to him—they were always by his side, often making appearances on the pool deck and bringing smiles to all the young swimmers.”

A GoFundMe was set up to help Beeler with unexpected costs and the loss of his dog. To donate, visit gofundme.com and search “Chad Beeler.”
