He was named to the D3football.com All-American Team and the Football Gazette All-American First Team. Talge is already working with Minnesota State Senator Norm Coleman's office, pursuing a career in politics. Walden, a biology major, was named the MIAC Most Valuable Player in 2004 and named to the MIAC All-Conference Team for three consecutive years. She will be studying optometry at a top university next fall.
