The AotW for February 9th-15th is Clara Grandt. Ms. Grandt wins her award via her 8th place finish at the USATF Cross Country National Championships. She covered the 8,000m course in 28:22 (that's 17:43 5K pace) and is now positioned to possibly run for the U.S. at the World Cross Country Championships. Clara is a 2005 graduate of Doddridge County High School and currently runs for the Mountaineers under Sean Cleary. In high school she was a 5:18/11:27 girl her junior year (injured for most of her senior year). If she isn't a testament to hard work, high mileage and running under Coach Cleary, no one is. Best of luck to Clara at NACAC or, more likely, Worlds.
