The AotW for Oct. 20th-27th is Keri Bland. Keri got 2nd at the Penn St. Nationals Open this past weekend with a steamy time of 20:11. Keri is a 2006 graduate of North Marion High School and runs for the #7 Mountaineers under Coach Cleary. Keri seems fully recovered from her long outdoor season (Olympic Trials were in July) and ready to rock out a solid Junior year. WVU is dormant until they win the Big East Championship on the 31st.
As an aside, this Penn St. meet may have been one of the strongest showings by West Virginians at a major collegiate meet in decades. (Benford 10th, Bland 2nd, C. Grandt 3rd, Lewis 8th and Christopher 10th) How crazy is it that WV has never gotten close to sending a girl to Foot Locker Nationals, yet WVU could field an all-WV-native team that would be ranked in the top-20 of the NCAA?
