REDLANDS, Calif. - The Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) announced their Outdoor Track and Field Athletes of the Week in the tenth week of voting and University of Redlands graduate sprinter Andrea Lyon (Danville, CA) was named the SCIAC Track Athlete of the Week for the first time this season. 

Andrea led the University of Redlands Women's Track & Field team to a sweep over Whittier College, Pomona-Pitzer, and Cal Lutheran Saturday at SCIAC Dual No. 3.  The Bulldogs finish the multi-dual season a perfect 8-0.  Andrea took home three wins, two in the sprints and another in a relay.  She recorded the fastest time in the 200m (24.28) and the 400m (56.60).  With her time in the 200m she has now broken her own school record for the University of Redlands.  But she wasn't done returning in the 4x100 Relay, running the anchor leg leading the team to a first place finish and a new school record with a time of 46.67. 

Redlands gears up to make a deep run at the SCIAC Championships hosted by Whittier College on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1.
