                                           First honor for Aces since 2015
Following a sixth-place finish at the Austin Peay Cross-Country Festival on Saturday, University of Evansville junior Sienna Crews was named the Missouri Valley Conference Female Cross Country Athlete of the Week on Tuesday.
Crews, who has battled her way back from an injury, helped lead the Aces to a second-place team finish with her time of 18:52.8.
The honor is the second of Crews’ collegiate career and first since the Lincoln City, Ind. native earned the honor on September 29, 2015.
Crews and the Aces are back in action this weekend as they travel to compete in the Greater Louisville Classic at Tom Sawyer State Park on Saturday in Louisville, Kentucky.
