Emory University track and field senior Dani Bland was recognized by the University Athletic Association Monday afternoon, earning Athlete of the Week honors for her performance at the Berry Field Day Invitational. It is her second weekly honor of the season and eighth of her career.

Bland took first in the 200m Dash with a season-best time of 24.60, was fourth in the 100m at 12.23, ran the second leg in the team's second place finish in the 4x100m (48.28) and recorded a personal-best mark in the javelin at 28.09m as she finished 12th to help the Eagles place first in the team standings at the meet.

Bland, who currently holds the fastest Division III time of the season in the 100m at 11.90, moves to second nationally with her new 200m time while her PR in the javelin moves her 10^th on the UAA leaderboard.

The Eagles will take part in both Sewanee's Mountain Laurel Invitational and Georgia Tech's Invitational this weekend before competing in the UAA Championships in Atlanta on April 27^th and 28^th.
