PORTALES, N.M. – The Eastern New Mexico athletic department recently announced Ivar Moinat and Treyanna Clay as the 2018-19 Greatest Greyhounds.

Moinat joins a long list of storied track and field athletes that have received the award, which dates back to 1940, including former Olympians Mike Boit and Rex Maddaford. Clay becomes the first member of the women's basketball team to claim the award since Heather Brown was named the Female Greatest Greyhound in 2006-07.

As voted upon by members of the athletic department staff, the Greatest Greyhound Award is presented each year to one male and one female athlete that represent the highest standards of ENMU Athletics and encompasses all that embodies a successful student-athlete.

Clay continued to elevate her standard of play throughout the season for the Greyhounds and was a driving force in leading the Hounds to their second selection into the NCAA Division II National Tournament in the last three seasons. The Tucson, Ariz. native lead the Greyhounds with an average of 16.0 points and recorded double-digit points in all but two games all season, neither of which occurred in Lone Star Conference play.

Her efforts on the court earned Clay D2CCA South Central Region Second Team honors as well as a First Team All-Lone Star Conference honor at season's end. She was named the league's Newcomer of the Year after leading the Hounds to a record of 19-9 in the regular season and the eighth seed selection into the NCAA South Central Regional Tournament.

She totaled 354 points against conference opposition for the season, second most in the league, and tallied her 1,000^th career point on Feb. 23 at Tarleton State. Clay scored the second highest total of points for the Greyhounds since the 2000-01 season with 481 points on the year and recorded the second-most free throws in a single season in program history with 170.

Moinat also etched his name into the Greyhound record books during a year in which he claimed USTFCCCA First Team All-American honors for the indoor track and field season and USTFCCCA Second Team All-American honors for the outdoor season. The Amsterdam, Netherlands native qualified for the NCAA Division II national meet in the 800-meter race in both the indoor and outdoor season, finishing in seventh place at the indoor national meet and 12^th place at the outdoor national meet.

He finished in second place at the 2019 Lone Star Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a time of 1:52.07, earning Second Team All-Lone Star Conference honors and ran the second fastest 800-meter time in Eastern New Mexico history at the West Texas A&M Classic and Multis with a time of 1:51.03 back on April 7^th.

Moinat's outstanding performance on the track throughout the season earned himself a spot in the seeded 800-meter run at the prestigious Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa on April 27^th. He turned in a time of 1:52.25 after finishing the final 400 meters in the third fastest time of the race, climbing four spots to produce a better finish than nine runners from NCAA Division I programs.

During the indoor season, Moinat earned All-LSC Third Team accolades while also breaking three ENMU program records, which included a 1:51.00 in the 800-meter at the Texas Tech Open, a 48.74 in the 400-meter at the Red Raider Invitational, and was part of the 4x400-meter relay team that set a school record with a 3:15.98 at the LSC Indoor Championships.

Clay and Moinat will both be honored at the annual Hall of Honors Banquet on Friday, Oct. 11, 2019 inside the Campus Union Building at 6 p.m.
