Tyler King earned All-American cross country honors while helping the University of Washington place 20th in the NCAA Division I championship meet Nov. 22 in Terre Haute, Ind.

His exploits highlighted the efforts of Coupeville High School graduates who competed in collegiate athletics this fall season.

King, a red-shirt junior, finished 40th, second among Huskies to Aaron Nelson, in 30:46 in the 10K national championship race.

He and Nelson are the first UW duo to earn All-American honors in the same year.

King and the Huskies placed fourth in the Pac-12 meet Oct. 31 and fifth in the Region I meet.

King was 12th (24:00) out of 78 in the 8K conference meet, second among UW runners, and 33rd (30:11.6) out of 185 in the regional 10K race Nov. 14.

Amanda d’Almeida recently completed her sophomore season for Carleton College (Northfield, Minn.).

She appeared in 13 matches for the Knights, starting six. She recorded four shots, two on goal, during the season and helped Carleton finish third in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Conference (7-1-3) and 11-4-3 overall.

Nick Streubel, a 6-foot-3, 316-pound freshman offensive lineman, is red-shirting for the Central Washington University football team this fall.

Mitch Pelroy played defensive back and returned kicks for Montana Western (Dillon). Pelroy helped the Bulldogs win their final four games to finish 6-5. He recorded 18 tackles (14 solo), including a sack.

As a kick returner, he was second on the team in kickoff returns (16 for 389 yards, a 24.3 yard average) and second in punt returns (four for 56 yards with a long of 38).
