Seer, Jarmon, Taylor Named All-MWC!
Three Grinnell College players have been named to the 2011 All-Midwest Conference Football Team.
Earning second-team honors were wide receiver Robert Seer ’12, left guard Chris Jarmon ’12 and defensive end Brian Taylor ’13 .
Seer (left), a three-time All-MWC selection, established Grinnell career records for touchdown receptions (46), receptions (232) and receiving yards (3,262) while tying the school mark for receptions in a season (84). In 2011, he ranked second in the conference in receptions and scoring (108 points) and was fourth in receiving yards (1,152). For his career, he ranks in the top five in the MWC in four categories.
Jarmon (center) is an All-MWC selection for the second time in his career. He anchored an offensive line that passed for more than 3,000 yards in 2011, second-best in the league. Jarmon was recently named to the Academic All-District first team and was selected as a candidate for the National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete Award.
Taylor (right) ranked fifth in the conference in sacks with seven, and was sixth in tackles for loss with 11.5. He was also among the top 20 in tackles with 68. Taylor had 3.5 sacks in a game against Lawrence University, just a half-sack shy of the Grinnell school record.

Grinnell Loses on Road, Seer Breaks Two More Records!
Some days just aren't your days. This Saturday was one of those for the Grinnell Pioneers. Facing the 2nd best team in the conference on the road, certainly proved a tough task, but everything that could go wrong did, and the Scarlet & Black fell 48-16.
Senior wide receiver Rob Seer '12 continued his assault on the Grinnell record books, vaulting into the top place all-time in receptions (223) and receiving yards (3,144) to go with the career receiving TDs (42) record he overtook two weeks ago. It's now without doubt, that he is the most prolific wide receiver in Pioneer football history! Congrats Rob!
Kelsey Davis ’12 and Colton Feller ’14 both had 12 tackles to lead the defense, while Brian Taylor ’13 added 10 tackles with 2.5 sacks and a safety.
Max Jacobson '14 blocked yet another PAT attempt, making it the fourth PAT or FG attempt he's prevented from going through the uprights this season tying the Grinnell single-season mark.
Grinnell falls to 5-4 overall (4-4 in MWC) and plays host to Carroll University (6-3, 5-3 MWC) this Saturday for the season finale and Senior Day at Rosenbloom Field! Hope to see you there!
Players of the Week:
Offense - Morgan Kinsinger '14, Chris Jarmon '12, Quinn Rosenthal '14
Defense- David Ternes '15
Special Teams- Seth Gustafson '14
Practice - Harnak Mann '14

Longest Win Streak Since 1999!
With a thrilling 17-15 road victory over Lawrence University, the Pioneers have run their current winning streak to four games. The longest in program history since 1999!
Both offenses struggled to consistently gain any momentum with winds over 30 MPH blowing throughout the afternoon. Rob Seer '12 was perhaps the least affected, hauling in 2 TDs, both from non-quarterbacks (Kelsey Davis '12 and Trent Baker '15). And with those two scoring catches Seer tied and then over took Richard Wemer '99 for the Grinnell career receiving touchdowns record with 42. Congrats Rob!
Brian Taylor '13 paced the defense with 6 total tackles but 3.5 were by sack for a combined negative 21 yards. Drew Blumberg '13 also posted 5 tackles including a couple big hits and a pass breakup.
Punter Logan Granera '12, also set a school record for longest punt in Pioneer history. Granera boomed a 79 yard kick in the 1st quarter to help flip the field for the Scarlet & Black.
Players of the week:
Offense - Kelsey Davis '12
Defense - Brian Taylor '13
Special Teams - Colton Feller '14
Practice - Drew Blumberg '13
The win bumps Grinnell's record to 5-2 overall and they play host to St. Norbert this Saturday.

Two-Sport Athletes
One of the many advantages to Division III athletics is the opportunity for more student-athletes to enjoy competing in more than one sport at the collegiate level. We had 11 guys on last fall's roster that are playing two-sports this year. Four are currently playing baseball while 7 others are members of the track and field team. Today we'll highlight those four football-baseball guys, and later in the week we'll focus on the track and field athletes.
Chad Christoff '10, Ryan Fletcher '11, Mike Bogard '12, and Brian Taylor '13 are all enjoying huge success this spring with the Pioneer baseball team jumping out to an 8-0 start in MWC play and 17-11 overall.
Christoff is a relief pitcher and has the second most appearances on the team and has held opposing hitters to a .213 average. Only giving up 10 hits, he has 2 saves and 4 strikeouts.
Fletcher has been rotating in and out of the starting lineup as a first baseman/designated hitter starting 13 of the team's 28 games. Currently he has the 6th highest batting average on the team at .326, while driving in 7 runs, stealing 2 bases and only committing 2 errors in 116 chances at first base.
Bogard has just been cleared to resume full activity after rupturing 3 ligaments in his knee in a football game this fall. He is slowly working himself back into pitching shape, and might be able to pitch for the Pioneers down the stretch.
Taylor serves as both a pitcher and back-up catcher for the baseball squad. He leads the team in ERA, with a spot-free 0.00 and is allowing opposing hitters only a .200 batting average.
The opportunity for these guys to play two sports at the collegiate level is an experience they'll never forget. Bogard says "There is absolutely no substitute for the camaraderie and friendships developed through sports, and being involved with multiple teams facilitates these one-of-a-kind interactions." Sharing similar sentiments about his teammates, Christoff said, "The benefits of playing two sports at the next level extend beyond the fact that I didn't have to give up playing one of the games I loved, but manifest themselves off the field in a way that I could never have imagined."
