CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Sophomore Christy Wood of the Boston University women's track & field team was named Patriot League Female Track Athlete of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday.
Wood was victorious in two different events this past weekend at the Rhode Island Invitational. She finished first in the 200m dash with a time of 25.19 seconds before winning the 400m dash with a time of 57.22 seconds. Her two victories helped BU place third as a team, just a half-point shy of second place.
This is the second weekly honor for Wood this season. She earned the same award on Dec. 9 as well. Wood is the only two-time weekly award winner from BU this season.
BU will be back in action on Friday (Feb. 7) when the Terriers host the David Hemery Valentine Invitational at the Track and Tennis Center.
