ST. LOUIS --- For the second time this month, UNI senior Emma Hoins has been named the Missouri Valley Conference's (MVC) Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.
A Waverly, Iowa native, Hoins was selected as this week's honoree after leading the Panthers with a 56th place individual finish this past Friday at Missouri's Gans Creek Classic in Columbia with a new career-best time of 21:11 in the six-kilometer race, the sixth-fastest mark in team history. Hoins has led the Northern Iowa women in all three races this season, which included a tenth-place effort at the Cyclone Preview to earn her first MVC weekly honor, as well as a runner-up finish at Illinois State's Redbird Invite two weeks ago.
Hoins and the Panthers will return to action on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Dan Huston Invite, hosted by Wartburg College in Waverly. Competition is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. CT.
UNI cross country action can be followed all season long on social media on Facebook (UNI Track and Field), X (@UNITrackFieldXC) and on Instagram (@uni_tf_xc). The full 2024 schedule and roster, along with the latest Panther news and information can be found online at UNIpanthers.com.
