FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State senior Kristen Hemphill has been named the Mountain West Conference track & field Co-Athlete of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.
Hemphill, a nutrition & food science major from Los Alamos, N.M., broke her own school record in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif., over the weekend. Hemphill clocked a time of 10 minutes, 2.59 seconds, finishing third overall in the event while beating out her previous record of 10:08.00, set at the Stanford Invitational in late March. Hemphill's school-record time ranks first in the conference and second in the nation this season.
This marks Hemphill's first career weekly honor.
