BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Sophomore Olivia Klaus continues to add Ohio Valley Conference awards to her season long resume as she was named the conference's Female Runner of the Week for the third time this season. Klaus helped the Panthers place fourth at the Bradley Classic on Friday afternoon in a field which included several ranked regional teams. As an individual she placed 16th in the 6K race with a time of 21:56 which set the school record at that distance. So far this season Klaus has helped the Panthers defeat all but two schools in the state of Illinois (Illinois and Illinois State).

The Panthers will return to action on Oct. 30 when they compete in the OVC Cross Country Championships in Cookeville, Tenn. The Panthers were selected to finish second in the preseason coaches poll.
