ST. LOUIS – Fresh off of her victory at the Austin Peay Cross Country Festival on Saturday, University of Evansville freshman Sienna Crews was named the Missouri Valley Conference Female Cross Country Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.
 
For Crews, it marked her first honor after the inaugural victory of her collegiate career.  Crews overcame a tough course and rainy conditions to lead the way with a 5K time of 19:05.00.  It was just eight seconds off of the course record. 
 
She was also four seconds behind her PR, which came in the first race of the season in Evansville.  A dominant performance saw Crews win by a 17-second margin over Unjula Lester of Austin Peay, who took second.
 
Crews looks to keep her streak going this weekend as the Aces travel to Saturday's Greater Louisville Classic.
