Lancaster, PA - JHU women's track and field athletes Lina Spjut and Victoria Kadiri were honored by the Centennial Conference for their efforts this past weekend. Spjut, a distance runner for the Jays was named Centennial Track Athlete of the Week while Kadiri, a multis athlete, was named Centennial Field Athlete of the Week.

This is Spjut's first Centennial Track Athlete of the Week recognition as she competed in the 1,500 at the Bison Outdoor Classic on Friday. Spjut posted the 19th-fastest time in Division III so far this year, finishing the race in 4:36.91. Teammate Ella Baran is the only runner in the conference with a faster time in 2022.
