IU junior Daniel Kuhn and sophomore Katherine Receveur both earned Big Ten Track Athlete of the Week awards, the conference announced Wednesday.
The duo each took home their second weekly honors of the season for their performances at the Meyo Invitational in South Bend, Indiana, this past weekend. Both athletes have broken a number of school records this season.
This is Kuhn’s sixth time winning the award in his career at IU.
At the Meyo Invitational, he broke the school record in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:46.42. The time was good enough to set the best mark in the NCAA this season. He also has the school record in the 600-meter run and the third-fastest time in the country this season in that race.
During the weekend, Receveur set a new school record in the 3,000-meter run and also participated in the school record-setting run in the distance medley relay. Her 3,000-meter time is the fastest in the NCAA this season by almost three seconds.
The IU track and field teams will return to competition this weekend at the Hoosier Hills Invitational in Bloomington.
