Princeton, N.J. - Princeton head coach Fred Samara and senior Josh McCaughey were honored by the the United States Track Coaches Association when Samara was named the mid atlantic region's coach of the year and McCaught received athlete of the year honors.
Samara earned the honor for the third time in four years after Princeton rallied on the second day of the Ivy League Heptagonal Championships to earn its 13th indoor Heps crown and its 37th overall Heps title. Princeton was neck-andneck with Cornell throughout the event and pulled away int he final events of Sunday afternoon.
McCaughey won the weight throw for the fourth consecutive year and earned First-Team All-Ivy honors for the fourth time as well to add to an already impressive list of accolades. McCaughy will look to achieve a similar feat this spring in the hammer throw.
