Track & field student-athletes Kaitlyn Shea and Logan Blomquist were both awarded Ohio Valley Conference Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week honors this week.
Shea was named OVC Co-Female Track Athlete of the Week while Blomquist was selected as the OVC Male Field Athlete of the Week for the second straight week and third time in 2020.
Shea secured the 5,000 meters this past weekend at the Indiana Relays in a career-best time that also set a SEMO indoor program record. The senior from Jefferson City, Missouri, leads the OVC in 2020 and ranks 51st in the NCAA.
She was also 12th in the 3,000 meters fast section with a personal-best time. Shea ranks fourth in SEMO program history for the event and leads the OVC in 2020.
The laurel is Shea's third career weekly conference award and first this season.
Blomquist was fourth in the weight throw with a personal-best mark at the Indiana Relays. His throw was the second longest all-time in SEMO program history. Blomquist, a senior from Pleasant Hills, Missouri, tops the OVC and is 24th in the NCAA this season for the event.
The award marks the 10th career weekly conference accolade for Blomquist.
SEMO track & field will host the Redhawks Invitational indoor track & field meet at the Student Recreation Center in two weeks on Friday, Feb. 21. The meet is free and open to the public.
