0

Starting where she left off a year ago, junior cross country runner Anna Lowry earns Missouri Valley Conference Athlete of the Week for the second time in her career.

Lowey took home the individual 5K title at the North Alabama Cross Country Open. She blazed a 18:02.6 race to take the title in a competitive field, marking her second career individual win. She completed the race 15 seconds faster than a group of Mississippi State and Memphis runners.

Her time sits towards the top of the MVC this season and is a top-15 time in school history.

The Purple Aces have a week off before traveling to Austin Peay Cross Country Festival on Sept. 21.
