University of Wisconsin Parkside’s Hope Christie (Somers, WI. / Bradford) is the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week.
Christie, a junior, helped lead the Rangers this past weekend at the Grand Valley State Big Meet. She finished the mile in 4:53.57, which was good for third-place overall in her section. Her time ranks sixth in the NCAA. Christie then helped the distance medley relay finish with a time of 11:58.76, which was good for fourth-place overall. The relay team is currently ranked 10th in the NCAA. Both the mile and relay times were good enough for NCAA Provisional Qualifying marks.
Wisconsin-Parkside will compete again next weekend when they host the GLVC Indoor Championships.
