DETROIT (5/4/2020) -- The University of Detroit Mercy Department of Athletics is unveiling its All-Decade Teams of the 2010s, compiling the best student-athletes across the past 10 seasons (2010-19) into a First and Second Team in each intercollegiate sport. Next up is another winter spot in Titan women's indoor track and field, which had several individual standouts during the decade.
The Titans earned one runner-up finish in indoor track and field during the decade, placing second during the 2014 Horizon League Championships at Youngstown State. Detroit Mercy finished second to the Penguins, who won five of the final six women's indoor track and field championships during the decade.
The red, white and blue scored its best two totals at the league championships during 2014, totaling 91 points for their second-place finish, and then the next season in 2015, when the Titans tallied 62 points for a fourth-place finish at the HL meet. The Titans then again tallied 62 points in 2018, tying Northern Kentucky for fifth place.
The Titans recorded 10 Horizon League wins during the decade, including three in 2014 when Detroit Mercy was runner-up and three in 2015. Louisa Coppola, a two-time HL indoor champion, won the mile run that season and the Titans swept the relays, winning both the Distance Medley Relay (DMR) and 4x400 meter relay.
Coppola was named the Horizon League Most Outstanding Runner of the Meet in 2014 and Sydnie Fetherolf earned the same honor in 2018 after winning both the mile and 800-meter run at the league championship. Sequoyia Calhoun was a back-to-back 400-meter Horizon League champion in 2011 and 2012 and set a new HL record in the 400 with her run of 55.34 in 2012, which also was the second-fastest time at the league meet in the event during the decade.
Hana Hunt was also a HL champion, winning the pentathlon in 2015. Coppola won the mile in back-to-back seasons (2014-15), running 4:55.12 in 2014 and 4:55.42 the following season.
Fetherolf was named a President's Award winner after the 2017-18 school year and Susan Kalkstein was a Class Valedictorian during the decade. Three Titan women's track and field student-athletes earned the Dad Butler honor for showing determination in rehabilitation of an athletic injury -- Amanda Campbell (2012), Haley Morairty (2014) and Ashley Bayes (2017).
All-League honors, award winners, standout and record-breaking performances, academic achievements and accolades as well as submissions from fans were all considered for each of the Detroit Mercy All-Decade Teams of the 2010s.
