ARLINGTON, Texas — Utah Valley University's Everlyn Kemboi was named the WAC TicketSmarter Women's Track Athlete of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday. 
 
Kemboi set a new school record in the 1500 at the Bengal Invitational, topping her previous program record. She recorded an altitude-adjusted time for 4:12.71 to improve on her WAC-best time while also moving into eighth in the West and 19th in the country in the 1,500. The All-American is also the national leader in the 5,000 and is third in the country in the 10,000. She'll look to defend her WAC titles in both events—she's holds the WAC championship record in both—at next week's conference championships in Nacogdoches, Texas.
 
Kemboi has been named the outdoor athlete of the week three times this season and five times during her career. She now has 11 WAC Athlete of the Week honors combined between cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track. The Wolverine women are currently ranked No. 25 in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) national poll.
