Athlete of the Week - Marie-Louise Asselin

The AotW for June 1st-6th is Marie-Louise Asselin. Marie runs for WVU under Sean Cleary and is a Sarnia, Ontario native. This past weekend she won the NCAA East Regional 5000m in a

time of 16:03.29, the second fastest time in WVU history. Some of her reported splits were 4:53 for 1600m and 9:19 for 3000m. She out-kicked Frances Koons down the homestretch. Her win qualifies her for the NCAA Championships June 10th-13th. West Virginians entered (as best as I can find) are: Tone Belt (Berkeley Springs/Louisville) in the LJ and HJ, Jasmine Cotten (Fayetteville/Cincinnatti) in the Heptathlon, Marie-Louise Asselin (WVU) in the 5,000m, Chelsea Carrier (Buckhannon-Upshur/WVU) in the 100h and Clara Grandt (Doddridge/WVU) in the 10,000m. Best of luck to everyone going to NCAAs.
