This week's Pioneer of the Week award goes to a pair of Carroll record breakers following outstanding individual performances. 

First up, the men. Junior Grant Marton, the track runner from New Berlin, Wisconsin, headlined the recent Early Bird Invitational hosted by UW-Oshkosh. Marton broke the school record for the 600 meter in an impressive showing, posting a time of 1:22.03. The Pioneer men as a whole placed second in the event, and they could not have done it without Marton's outstanding performance.

For the women, we have another record breaker. The women's swim team placed fourth at the Carthage Classic this past weekend, and the sophomore Lindsey Coons from Neenah, Wisconsin put on a show. Coons placed first overall in the 200 yard backstroke final. But she was not done yet. Coons also broke a school record in the 100 yard backstroke, with an outstanding time of 58.28. The women's swim team is off to an impressive start to the season, and Coons has certainly played her part.
