The Murray State track and field team has swept the OVC's ADIDAS Athletes of the Week Award for the second time this season.
Senior Alexis Love won the track athlete of the week, while junior Katie Forshey won in the award in field. Love had a big meet over the weekend for the Racers at the Grand Valley State Big Meet. Love took home the 400 meter dash title, placed second in the 200 meters and third in the 60 dash at the meet.
In the 400, Love set a new career-best in the race, running a time of 56.27. Love's big day wasn't done there however. In the 200 she set a new season-best with a time of 24.06. Love would follow that up by tying a season-best in the 60 meters, running a time of 7.56 in the finals.
Love also anchored the 4x400 meter relay team that set a new season-best for the Racers and finished in third place.
Forshey recorded a 2nd place finish in the high jump out of a field of 32 at the meet over the weekend with a height of 5'5”. That was good enough to earn her a new season-best in the event.
Forshey, Love and the rest of the Racers will be off this week in preparation for the OVC Indoor Championships hosted by Eastern Illinois on Feb. 22-23.
