The AotW for June 7th-13th is Marie Louise Asselin of WVU. Marie finished 2nd in the 5,000m at NCAAs in a time of 15:53.93. Marie ran one of the most brutally tough races of the meet, going out with Koll and Blizzari at such a pace that Blizzari cracked and collapsed into the infield at 3400m. Marie then held off a hard-charging Kosinski with a 69 second final lap. With Koll graduating, Marie will be the top returner in 2011.

Special tip 'o the cap to Marie, Clara Grandt (4th, 10,000m), Karli Hamric (6th, 1,500m) and Keri Bland (9th, 1,500m). This distance squad scored 16 points at NCAAs and secured 15th place for WVU. While Clara and Karli now move on to the post-collegiate scene, Marie and Keri will be back next year for one final push on the track.

Reminder that the WV 5K Championship is this Saturday. Last I saw, this race had over 500 registered and there is also race day registration. Should be a good week with NB Nationals, WV 5K and the Clarksburg 10K. Good luck to everyone.
