MAC Release
Cleveland, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) – The Mid-American Conference announced today, April 5, that junior Alsu Bogdanova (Kazan, Russia – Lyceum #83) was named MAC Track Athlete of the Week for her performance at the Stanford Invitational, April 1. The junior turned in a spectacular performance while competing against some of the top student-athletes in the country.
Running in the 5000m, Bogdanova turned in a scorching time of 15:58.61, nearly 30 seconds quicker than her fastest indoor 5000m time, to finish fourth in a talented field of runners.
