Cordell Tinch was named the National Men’s Track Athlete of the Year for the 2023 NCAA DII Indoor Track & Field season. Tinch, who hails from Green Bay, Wisconsin, rewrote the NCAA DII record book – and then some – under a roof. He shattered the divisional record in the 60-meter hurdles when he ran 7.50 at the Gorilla Classic in mid-February. That also made Tinch the seventh-fastest performer in collegiate history. Tinch wasn’t done there, as he ran 7.52 or faster three different times, including a 7.51 winner at the 2023 NCAA DII Indoor Championships. All told, Tinch owns seven of the top-10 marks in NCAA DII history.
