For her effort at the BGSU Tom Wright Open, Ball State senior sprinter Alana Springer has been named the Pridemark Construction Student-Athlete of the Week.
Springer set a personal record Saturday while winning the 60-meter dash as part of the BGSU Tom Wright Opener at Perry Fieldhouse in Bowling Green, Ohio. She also anchored Ball State’s 4x400-meter relay team that captured second place.
Her 60-meter time of 7.45 seconds in her preliminary heat beat her previous best of 7.48 in the same meet last season. Springer won the finals while clocking 7.48 again, just ahead of teammate Laya’Lapri Ratney, in second place.
