WWU’s Steen named GNAC Women’s Athlete of the Week

Western Washington University’s Katelyn Steen has been named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference Cross Country Women’s Athlete of the Week for Oct. 5-11.

Steen, a senior from Sammamish where she graduated from Eastlake High School, finished third in back of two Trinity Western runners at the 41st Annual WWU Classic, completing the six-kilometer distance in a personal-best course time of 21:20. That was 40 seconds better than her previous best effort on the Lake Padden Park course.
