Winter, Utley honored by IIAC

Two former Metro athletes have been honored by the Iowa Conference this week.

Xavier grad Kristen Winter, now a junior at Luther College, has been named the IIAC softball player of the week.

Prairie grad D.J. Utley, now a junior at Wartburg, has been honored by the conference in baseball.

Winter, a second baseman, hit .500 and slugged 1.100 while leading the Norse to the Iowa Conference tournament title. She had three hits and three RBIs, including a walk-off home run, in Luther's 5-4, 8-inning win over Buena Vista Friday. She had two hits, including a two-run homer, in a 15-11 Norse championship game win over Coe Sunday.

Utley, a first baseman, hit .571 (8-of-14) with three doubles, a home run, seven RBIs and three runs scored. In the regular-season finale against Central, he tied a career-high with five RBIs and finished a triple shy of the cycle. Utley also started the finale on the mound, throwing two innings.
