Women’s Outdoor - Track
Southern Oregon’s Jessa Perkinson has been named the Red Lion Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week.

Perkinson, a senior from Roseburg, Ore., ran the NAIA’s fastest 5K since 2009 in her first attempt at it since she won last year’s national outdoor title. At 16:13.79, she beat her old personal best by 24 seconds and took over the top spot on the national performance list by a margin of 14.3 seconds. This was one of the fastest collegiate races at any level in the country.

Honorable mention: Sarah Estabrook, NU
