Annika Urban Tabbed as UAA Athlete of the Week

Senior Annika Urban was named the University Athletic Association Women's Track Athlete of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.

Urban has earned the honor four times this outdoor season and 18 times in her career.

She earned the honor once more after once again etching her name in the Division III record books with her personal-best time in the 1500m at the Lee Last Chance meet on Saturday. Urban went sub 4:20 in the event, clocking in at 4:19.43, to win in a field with DII competitors. Urban is the first DIII runner to go under 4:25 this outdoor season and now stands 7th in DIII history in the event.

Track and Field will host the Emory Final Qualifier on May 17 before sending student-athletes to the NCAA Outdoor Championships May 26-28.
