MOUNT VERNON, IA . . .  The Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) announced today the Male and Female Athletes of the Week for the period ending Sunday, March 31, 2002.  Upper Iowa University baseball player Bobby Glaser (Stockton, CA/AA Stagg HS) was selected IIAC Male Athlete of the Week and Central College softball player Libby Hysell (Colfax, IA/Colfax-Mingo HS) was selected IIAC Female Athlete of the Week.
