University of Wisconsin-Parkside sophomore distance runner Moriah Palmer and Lewis University junior multi-event specialist Amber Cook have been respectively named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week, it was announced by the conference office Thursday.
Cook garnered an NCAA Provisional mark and a victory in the triple jump with a leap of 11.59 meters (38' 1/4") at the Illiana Invitational this past Friday. The distance is tops in the GLVC and 19th nationally.
