CARBONDALE, Ill. - On the strength of a career-best 5K time at the Evansville Invitational last Saturday, Southern Illinois University senior Katie Meehan has been named Missouri Valley Conference Female Cross Country Runner of the Week.
Meehan won the event with a time of 17:55, placing her on top of the MVC season-best list and placing her in the top-10 all-time times at SIU.
Meehan recorded the outstanding time despite wet and rainy conditions on Evansville's brand new course.
Meehan has received the weekly honor twice this season. Meehan and the rest of the Salukis will return to action on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the MVC Championships. Meehan placed 18th at MVC's last season.
