Athlete of the Week - Ahna Lewis


The Athlete of the Week for Nov. 17-23 is Ahna Lewis. Miss Lewis earns her AotW for her performance at Mid-Atlantic Regionals. In Princeton, with the assistance of Kaylyn Christopher, Lewis pulled the Mountaineer's bacon out of the fire and helped secure a tie for the championship. Ahna is a 2007 graduate of Morgantown High and now runs for WVU under Sean Cleary.

In her junior and senior seasons, she did not score points for the Mohigans at the WV Cross Country State Meet and barely broke 21 minutes at Mineral Wells and 22 minutes on Cabell Midland's course. Fast-forward 2 years and she's scoring points for a Regional-winning, D-I school while out-leaning a girl who qualified for Foot Locker Nationals in high school.

Best of luck to Ahna and the rest of the Mountaineers as they head to Terra Haute.
