Hilla Tabbed AAA Athlete of the Week

WEST POINT, N.Y. – Sophomore Meagan Hilla of the Army West Point women's track and field team was named the Athlete of the Week by the Army Athletic Association following the Black Knights' thrilling 91-90 victory over service-academy rival Navy this weekend.

"I try to stay calm and act like it's just any other jump," said Hilla. "There was definitely a lot of pressure. We only traveled 27 girls while Navy had close to 40. We had a lot of girls doing multiple events."

Hilla won the high jump and broke the previous meet record that has stood since 1989.
