Austin Peay State UniversityClarksville, TN – Senior Chantelle Grey, of the Austin Peay State University women’s track and field team, has been named the Copies in a Flash APSU Athlete of the Week.

Her 2:12.61 mark in the 800m run won the event by nearly three seconds over her next closest competition.
