Katelyn Steen named National Female Athlete of the Week

Western Washington University’s Katelyn Steen has been named the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Division II Female Athlete of the Week for Oct. 26-Nov. 1. That announcement was made Monday, Nov. 3.

Steen, a senior from Sammamish, won the women’s individual title at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Cross Country Championships last Saturday. Her time of 20:14 over the six-kilometer course was a record for the 15-year-old meet, bettering the old mark by 10 seconds, and was 19 seconds ahead of her nearest rival.
