Brentwood, TN – Junior Xiamar Richards has earned the Ohio Valley Conference’s Women’s Track Co-Athlete of the Week, February 5th, the conference office announced Tuesday.
Richards set a school record in the 5000m run at Saturday’s TSU Invitational, placing second with a 17:52.32 run. That bested her previous mark (17:53.05), which she set at last season’s OVC Indoor Championships.

She shares the award with Eastern Illinois’ Britney Whitehead.
This is Richards’ first career weekly honor in track; she also earned a weekly honor during the 2012 cross country season after picking up her career’s third victory at the JSU Foothills Invitational. She is the second Lady Gov to pick up a weekly honor this season, joining Chantelle Grey, January 15th.
The Lady Govs return to action Friday, February 8th, in Geneva, Ohio for the two-day Spire Invitational.
