Athlete of the Week - Marie Louise Asselin

The AotW for February 15th to 21st is Marie Louise Asselin of WVU. Marie Louise ran 15:58.15 at the Big East Indoor Track Championship, winning the 5,000m. She set a WVU school record for the indoor 5,000m and then helped the team to a third place finish in the 4x800m. Clara Grandt was also in the 5,000 and ran 16:04.24. Her mark was also under the old record, which Clara owned. Both girls got their auto qualifiers for nationals.
Special hit tips to the high schoolers who went after some real competition at Kentucky and Akron, hit tip to the collegiates who did well and special hat tip to Chelsea Carrier for winning the BE indoor heptathlon and the 60mH. If this were not a distance site, she's be your AotW.

Athlete of the Week - Zach Tennant

The AotW for February 8th-14th is Zach Tennant of William & Mary. After setting two state meet records last year and winning 4 AotWs in 7 weeks, Mr. Tennant disappeared into the hinterlands of Williamsburg, Va. Well, he's popped back on the radar this weekend with a 4:16.70 showing in the mile, winning AotW. 4:16 during indoors bodes very well for Zach this spring. Best of luck to him. Tip o' the cap to everyone competing this past weekend, we're fast approaching indoor championship season...
