OKLAHOMA CITY -- Following a top-five finish against one of the strongest fields of her season, John Brown University sophomore Abigail Stucker was named the Sooner Athletic Women's Runner of the Week, presented by Digital Scoreboards, the league office announced Tuesday morning (Oct. 27).
Stucker placed fifth at the Blazing Tiger NAIA Classic, covering the 6K course in 22:08 against a field that featured several of the nation's top NAIA programs. The Ft. Worth, Texas native turned in the second-fastest 6K of her career and the third-fastest performance at the distance in John Brown women's program history.
The honor is Stucker's third of the season and career. She first collected the award Sept. 15 after breaking the John Brown 5K record with a 17:44 at the Queen City After Dark before earning her second honor Oct. 13 following an individual victory at the Golden Eagle Invitational in a collegiate-best 22:00.
The Blue and Gold return home Nov. 7 for the Sooner Athletic Conference Championships at Pollard's Field in Siloam Springs.
