The athlete (s) of the week has become a weekly staple for Milesplit Illinois in honoring the outstanding achievements of a worthy male and female athlete. This past week was significantly harder than in any time this season. There were so many potent performances that we could have named multiple athletes of the week! This only means one thing about Illinois track and field in general: times and marks with the assistance of good coaching and above average weather for this spring as a whole are the key contributors.
