SAINT LOUIS, Mo. - Drake University senior Emma Huston (Des Moines, Iowa) has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
Huston, a member of the women's track and field team, won the honor for the second time this season after winning the 3,000 meters at last weekend's Big Four Duals. She led the entire race from start-to-finish against competitors from Iowa, Iowa State and UNI and her time of 9:37.89 bested the field by nearly eight seconds. That time was also the third-fastest 3,000-meters in school history.
