SIOUX CITY, Iowa – After helping their team win the GPAC title and advance to the NAIA Championships, Nathan Tornow and Hannah Van Maaren were selected as All-Conference honorees.

"I'm proud of these athletes for all the hard work they have put in," head coach Taylor Decker said. "Nate is the first four-year all-conference member, and I've been honored to coach them both!"

Nathan Tornow – Sr., Sioux Falls, S.D.
A four-time all-conference selection, Tornow is a four-year member of the Red Raider cheer team. During his time as a Raider, Northwestern has placed first, second, and fifth (twice) at the annual GPAC meet.

Hannah Van Maaren – Fr., Sheldon, Iowa
Van Maaren earns all-conference accolades in her first season with the Red Raiders. She was a key part of a Northwestern team that improved its score in each competition this year.
