NEW ORLEANS – In four races separated by just 15 days, Colorado track and field star Dani Jones sent shockwaves throughout the nation that resulted in her being named the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Women's Track Athlete of the Year, the association announced Wednesday morning.
"I'm really excited to earn this award," said Jones. "Obviously this season isn't what anyone anticipated. I'm honored because I know that a lot of people put in a lot of hard work into the seasons they anticipated in having and I'm glad my hard work isn't going unnoticed.
