Carleton senior Alex Wirta was the lone Knight named to the All-MIAC team for the 2012 year. The All-MIAC nod is the second in his career after he was also selected after his freshmen season. During conference play, he posted a .361 batting average with a team high 14 RBIs. He finishes his career with a .370 batting average in conference games. Paul Dimick was the Knights’ recipient on the All-MIAC Sportmanship team.

Gina Kabasakalis, fresh off a record-setting first season, has been named the MIAC’s co-freshman of the year, as voted on by the conference’s coaches. Kabasakalis shares the award with Gustavus' Sam Falk. The Californian finished her inaugural season in the maize and blue with the third-lowest stroke average among all players (80.31) in the MIAC, which also marked a new Carleton record.

The Carleton College men’s track and field team picked up two event titles on day two of the MIAC Championships, including a school-record performance by Adrian Carpenter in winning the 110-meter hurdles. Marcus Huderle added top honors in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. As a team, the Knights finished sixth.

Carleton College senior Alison Smyth capped the 2012 MIAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships with the victory in the 5,000-meter run, completing the “distance double” as she was also first to the line in the 10,000-meter run on Friday. The Knights finished fifth in the team competition after winning a total of three events during the meet.

The nine-match win streak for Carleton College women’s tennis came to an end with a 5-0 setback against University of Chicago in the second round of the NCAA Championships. The Knights (19-6) went 18-4 this season against Division III opponents, with all four losses to teams that survived the second round of the NCAA tournament.

The Carleton College women’s track and field team made some noise on the opening day of competition at the MIAC Outdoor Championships by breaking a pair of stadium records, including a new school-record in the 4x800-meter relay. Alison Smyth won the 10,000-meter run by more than 20 seconds, and the relay eclipsed the program standard set five years ago at the conference meet.
