BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Daniel Kuhn has added another award to an already tremendous sophomore season. Earlier today he was named as the USATF Indiana Athlete of the Month for January.

Kuhn had a dominating stretch in the month. To start out the month he took first in the 800m run with an Indiana v. Tennessee Dual Meet record time of 1:49.53. His next achievement came in the Rod McCravy Memorial when he set the school record in the 800m run with a time of 1:48.13. That time came just one day after he split a 1:47.16 for the winning distance medley relay. Just six days following that record-breaking performance he broke the school record in the 600m run with a time of 1:16.91.

During the month he has also been named the Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week.

Currently Kuhn's time in the 800m ranks as the 14^th best in the nation and his 600m run time ranks as the fastest nationally.
