Jones earns 3rd national weekly honor
Kansas State’s Akela Jones has her third USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week award, the organization announced Tuesday.
Jones is coming off a dominant performance last weekend at the Big 12 Championships where she won three individual titles and finished as the high scorer of the meet.
The Wildcat senior became the first female Wildcat to win three conference titles at the same meet since 1976, when Teri Anderson won the 880-yard run, the mile run and the two-mile run at the Big Eight meet in Manhattan.
