Maryville University junior Elizabeth Kiblinger and William Jewell College junior Margaret Perko have been respectively named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Outdoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week, it was announced by the league office Wednesday. 

Kiblinger crossed the line first in the 10,000 meters last weekend at the Washington University (St. Louis) Invitational, registering a school-record time and NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 34 minutes, 58 seconds.  Her time ranks first in the conference this season and is currently second nationally.

The Cape Girardeau, Missouri, native earns her third career outdoor honor as her first two accolades came on April 3 and April 27 of the 2014 season.
