It was announced earlier today that senior Alison Smith (McKinleyville, CA) was named the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) Women's Track & Field Athlete of the Week for her contributions at the University of Redlands' home meet on Saturday.  Smith played a huge part in the Bulldogs' wins over Caltech and the University of La Verne at the SCIAC Multi-Dual Meet.

This is her second such honor of the current season.

Smith won the 100 Hurdles with a time of 14.17 and now ranks first in all of NCAA Division III.  She also ran the anchor leg of the winning 4x100 Relay that uncorked the second-fastest time in the nation for this season at 47.38.  In addition, she won the Javelin (117' 9") and took second in the 200 Meters (26.07) for a well-rounded performance.

Redlands looks forward to competing in the Jim Click Multis Shootout, which takes place on Thursday, April 6, and Friday, April 7, in Tucson, AZ.  The squad then heads to the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational on Saturday, April 8.
