INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Bellarmine University’s Katie Hickey is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week.

Hickey, a senior for the Knights, finished the 1500-meter run in 4:33.15 for a second place finish at the Tennessee State Boston Moon Classic. She finished behind a Division I All-American, Janet Jesang, from Western Kentucky. This was an improvement on her school record and a provisional time. She also won the 3000-meter run in a cruising time of 10:01.78. She currently ranks first in both events in the conference. Hickey ranks tenth in the nation for the 1500-meter race.

The Knights will be competing in the Eastern Kentucky Invitational on Friday evening.  

Other top performers in the GLVC last week included Indianapolis’ Nichelle Curtis, Missouri S&T’s Aubrey Moore, and Drury’s Tia Young.
