DALLAS – Graduate student Eusila Chepkemei has been named Women's C-USA Track Athlete of the Week, as announced by the conference office on Tuesday.
Chepkemei was one of five athletes that traveled to Raleigh, North Carolina for the Raleigh Relays on Thursday, March 24, and Friday, March 25.
In her first meet of the outdoor season, she took first place in heat seven of the women's 5000m with a program-record time of 15:57.61. Overall, she took ninth place in the field of 151 runners and took seventh among collegiate athletes.
Chepkemei erased over 30 seconds from the previous MT program-record time of 16:31.35, set in 2016 by Jackline Kiprono, and is almost 40 seconds ahead of the next best time in Conference USA. Her new program-record time ranks seventh in the nation currently.
What's next for the Blue Raiders?
