NAIA Release | USTFCCCA Athletes-of-the-Week

UPLAND, Ind. – Jaynie Halterman's record-setting performance earned her a pair of National Accolades this week.

Halterman was named the NAIA Women's Runner-of-the-Week for the second time this season and fourth in her career. USTFCCCA named Halterman the NAIA Women's Athlete-of-the-Week for the second time this year and fifth time in her illustrious career.

In a highly competitive field comprised of NCAA Division I athletes, Halterman strode to a fourth-place finish while shattering her own NAIA 6k record time by 20 seconds, crossing the finish line at 20:04.7.

Halterman set the standard for the NAIA at the course where the NAIA National Championships will be held this November on a rain soaked course. The sensational sophomore bested the closest NAIA competition by almost a minute, while trailing the first-place finisher by less than 10 seconds.

Halterman continues her sophomore season at the Ray Bullock Invite on Friday, October 10, at 4:00 pm.
